Objectives
Stability of the core is associated with lower extremity functioning. Consequently, impaired core stability might play a role in developing non-contact acute lower extremity sports injuries. The objective was to investigate components of core stability as potential risk factors for acute lower extremity injuries. Design A cohort study was set up with a follow-up and injury registration period of 1.5 years. Participants 142 male and female physical education students were included. Main outcome measures Measures of isometric hip and core muscular strength, endurance, proprioception and neuromuscular control of the core, and postural control were taken at the start of the study. Sports-related injury occurrence was registered during follow-up. Results 27 (19%) injuries of interest occurred during follow-up. After multivariate model building, a significant predictive effect was found for side-to-side hip abduction strength asymmetry (p = .007). The hazard of developing an acute lower extremity injury increased with 6.2% with a 1 unit increase in side-to-side strength imbalance, regardless of gender. Conclusion Hip abduction strength imbalance was determined as a risk factor for the development of non-contact, acute lower extremity injuries. Normalizing hip strength imbalances might be beneficial for injury prevention. However, further research is needed to support this claim. |
