Distal Thigh Compression Garment Improves Knee Control and Safety Perceptions During Single Leg Triple Hop for Distance

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Neuromuscular Control

In brief

This study measured knee frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) and sports safety and performance perceptions of female athletes during a single leg triple hop for distance for 3 conditions (standard knee sleeve, no device and distal thigh compression garment (DTCG)). The hypothesis was that the DTCG group would display superior dynamic knee valgus FPPA compared to the standard knee sleeve and no device groups.
