Abstract
The present study aims to determine the effect of 8-week reactive neuromuscular training on static and dynamic balances and as well as the amount of genu valgum in female students. A 30 female students of 8- to 12 years old with genu valgum deformity have voluntarily participated in this study and were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent an 8-week reactive neuromuscular training program, while the control one did not perform any special exercise. After 8 weeks, the measurements were repeated. In order to investigate the differences between the results corresponding to the studied groups, repeated measurements analysis of variance has been employed (P≤0.05). According to the results, there was a significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of the amount of Genu Valgum (P≤0.05). Also, in the case of static balance, both groups indicated an improvement in the post-test results compared to the pre-test counterparts. (P≤0.05). In addition, a significant improvement has been observed in the anterior, external,anterior and posterior directions of the dynamic balance test of the star (P≤0.05)
