Abstract
Dynamic knee valgus faulty movement pattern is one of the most important factors that contribute in lower extremity degenerations changes. The aim of this study was investigation effectiveness of comprehensive corrective exercise program on knee proprioception and quality of one leg squat performance in subject with dynamic valgus. Based on screening test 24 subjects were randomly divided in control group (N=12) and intervention group(N=12). After pre-test measurement intervention group did 8 week of exercise (3 sessions per week)
Result demonstrated proprioception and quality of one leg squat performance in intervention group compared to control group significantly improved.
It seems comprehensive corrective exercise have positive effect on movement pattern correction and subsequences of dynamic knee valgus
