ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore the differences in the distributions of plantar pressure in dynamic states and assess the strength profiles in the hip muscle of professional volleyball players according to foot posture index. Dynamic plantar pressure distributions were evaluated via the Pedar®-X plantar pressure insole during walking. Load Cell sensors was used isometrically to measure hip adductor/abductor muscle strength. Independent-Samples T-Test was performed and according to Levene’s homogeneity test results. Pearson correlation coefficient was performed to understand relationship between the variables. For these measurements, a significance level was set as p<0.05. The right adductor and abductor, left adductor strength of the prone group had significantly lower than the neutral group (p <.05). Also, plantar pressure distributions of volleyball players with prone feet was distributed evenly across metatarsal bones, but highly uniformly on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd metatarsal head and midfoot regions in dynamic walking. Results between neutral and prone foot posture group was found a modarate negative relationship (r = -.570; -,529) between both right and left adductor hip strenght and foot posture. Finally, right and left abductor hip strenght to foot posture a low negative relationship was found (r = -.471; -375). Reduced strength of the hip abductor relative to adductor is associated with increased pronation at the foot. Furthermore, the decrease in arch height increased the risk of lower extremity injuries related to excessive use, including patellofemoral pain syndrome and medial tibial stress syndrome, as well as may having a negative effect on the jumping performance.
