What is this trial about?
Introduction: The prevalence of biomechanical alterations in the the lower limbs in
school-age children is increasing. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a
therapeutic exercise program in child athletes with lower limb overpronation during gait.
Methods: Relevant databases (PubMed and SCOPUS) were searched. A total of 123 young athletes
(aged 9-12 years) will be evaluated. Subjects will be tested biomechanical analysis including
all relevant angles, as follows: the Helbing angle, the femorotibial angle, and the Fick
angle in both limbs. Subjects will be divided into two groups at random. Children in
experimental group will participate in an exercise program for three months. Children in
control group will not received treatment for three months. After the study, these children
will receive the same treatment as children in experimental group.
What are the participation requirements?
