Abstract

GARCIA ANTUNEZ, C.; CRUZ TORRES, B. de la; SANCHEZ LOPEZ, M. D.  and  ALBORNOZ CABELLO, M.. Analysis of global pronation of the entire lower extremities in school-age sport children. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.4, pp.135-138. ISSN 2172-5063.

Objetive. An important kinesiologic component during human gait is a global internal rotation of the lower extremity (hip intoeing and knock knee) in conjunction with foot pronation. This motion is often loosely described clinically as global pronation of the entire lower extremity. The aim was to analyze the gait pattern in school-age sport children for three months. Method. We examined 58 children, belonging to Cajasol Sciences Sevilla Rugby Club. Only 10 children had excessive overall pronation complete lower limb and they made up the study sample. Gait biomechanical analysis was performed using modular-platform electronic baropodometer. Angle helbing, angle fick and line femorotibial during walking were calculated in both lower extremities. We analyzed evolution of gait pattern for three months. Results. Initially and after three months, the children presented a pathological gait pattern characterized by excessive hip internal rotation, excessive knee valgus and foot overpronation in both lower extremities. Conclusion. Global pronation of the entire lower extremity school-age sport children did not change with the natural growth of children after 3 months follow-up. We think it will be necessary a specific therapeutic treatment.
