Fifty Saudi Arabian men 30 to 40 years of age without present or previous history of injury or disease related to the lower extremities were randomly selected for measurement of the range of motion in the basic planes of hip, knee, and ankle joint. The results were compared to a similar study from Scandinavia. There was a highly significant difference in external rotation of the hip, flexion of the knee, and dorsiflexion of the ankle. Cultural differences in the activities of daily life are suggested to explain the differences in the range of motion.
随机选取了50名年龄在30至40岁之间、目前或既往无下肢损伤或疾病史的沙特阿拉伯男性，测量其髋关节、膝关节和踝关节在基本平面上的活动范围。将结果与斯堪的纳维亚的一项类似研究进行了比较。髋关节外旋、膝关节屈曲和踝关节背屈存在高度显著差异。建议用日常生活活动中的文化差异来解释活动范围的差异。
