Screening the Ability to Squat in the Middle aged Population: An Observational Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: The biomechanical analysis of squatting in individuals from the kinematic prospective would reveal numerous errors in the performance of these movements. These errors essentially arise when the functional integrity of human body is hampered. Individual in the middle aged population are more susceptible to injuries due to incorrect biomechanics during this movements. Objective: To screen the ability to squat in the middle aged population. Methods: The observational study included open ended participation between the age of 35-50 years to screen the squatting ability in general population. The outcome measure was squatting assessment and strength of hamstrings and quadriceps muscle by hand held dynamometer. Result: Significant difference found in deep squat performance and biomechanical movement errors [p<0.05] .Also significant difference found between right and left hamstring and quadriceps with normal and inaccurate squat [p<0.05]. Conclusion: Ability to squat in middle age population is hampered.
