This prospective cohort study aimed to determine characteristics contributing to the development of Sever's disease in junior gymnasts.
This study included 74 limbs from 37 junior gymnasts. The Baseline demographic data, flexibility measurements, foot alignments, trunk function tests, and functional balancing tests were used for evaluation. The incidence of Sever's disease among this cohort was assessed for six months after the first evaluations. We categorized those diagnosed by medical specialists as having Sever's disease into a Sever's disease group, while those with no foot pain or other diagnosed pathologies were in a no-symptom group.
The Junior gymnasts with Sever's disease had a lower arch height ratio and lower anterior star excursion balance test values.
Sever's disease in junior gymnasts may be potentially prevented through using a medial longitudinal arch support and/or undertaking dynamic postural balance training.
这项前瞻性队列研究旨在确定导致初级体操运动员发生Sever病的特征。
本研究纳入了37名初级体操运动员的74条肢体。使用基线人口统计学数据、柔韧性测量、足部对线、躯干功能测试和功能平衡测试进行评估。在首次评估后的六个月内评估该队列中Sever病的发病率。我们将医学专家诊断为患有Sever病的人归入Sever病组,而那些没有足部疼痛或其他诊断出的病理情况的人则归入无症状组。
患有Sever病的初级体操运动员足弓高度比更低,前足星状偏移平衡测试值更低。
通过使用内侧纵弓支撑和/或进行动态姿势平衡训练,可能预防初级体操运动员的Sever病。
