- Abstract
Purpose: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder of adolescent female athletes. It has negative effects on sportive performance. The purpose of this study was to research the effect of time in sport on lower extremity injury risk of female volleyball players with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: In the study, 15 Turkish Volleyball Federation Sports High School students with unilateral patellofemoral pain syndrome were included. All the students were 14-17 years old licensed volleyball players. Demographic information was taken. Lower extremity parameter of Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was used to assess lower extremity injury risk. Time in sport was calculated from the age of starting volleyball until the day of assessments. Results: Athletes were 14.86±1.09 years old. Time in sport was 4.71±1.89 (3.62 - 5.81, %95 CI). FMS lower extremity score was 7.14±1.23 (6.45 - 7.85, %95 CI). Spearman test was used for statistical analysis. The results showed statistically significant moderate-strong negative correlation between time in sport and FMS (r=-0.56, p=0.03, %95 CI). Conclusion: In the study, increase in time spent in sport resulted in a decrease in lower extremity score of FMS and a higher injury risk. The risk factors like Gluteus Medius activations, Iliotibial Band tightness, activation times of Vastus Medialis Obliquus and Vastus Lateralis should be assessed frequently to foresee and prevent, and if present, to manage the syndrome. Otherwise, athletes who suffer from the syndrome and keep playing may develop another lower extremity injury. Long-term and comprehensive studies are needed.
