INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
Muscles of the trunk, hip, and knee influence the orientation of the lower extremity during weight bearing activities. The purpose of this study was threefold: first, to compare the orientation of the lower extremity during a single leg (SL) squat among male and female athletes; second, to compare the strength of muscle groups in the trunk, hips, and knees between these individuals; and third, to evaluate the association between trunk, hip, and knee strength and the…

The data showed that core stability is moderately too weak related to lower extremity function, core stability could not be measured with these tests and they are not good indicators for lower extremities function.

The high correlation of knee and hip angles between the three tasks indicates that similar information about knee and Hip kinematics was gained from each of these tasks, while pelvis and trunk angles were less well predicted.

The absence of dynamic knee joint stability may be responsible for increased rates of knee injury in females but is not normally measured in athletes before participation, no method for accurate and practical screening and identification of athletes at increased risk of ACL injury is currently available.
