Effects of a warm-up program on jump-landing pattern and lumbopelvic function in female basketball players with dynamic knee valgus.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic knee valgus (DKV), commonly observed during functional movements, is recognized as a key biomechanical factor contributing to the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Given its importance in injury prevention, this study aimed to investigate the effects of a warm-up program on jump-landing pattern and lumbopelvic function in female basketball players exhibiting dynamic knee valgus. The present study employed a quasi-experimental design. Thirty female basketball players with DKV were screened using the single-leg landing (SLL) test and subsequently randomized into control (n = 15) and experimental (n = 15) groups. The jump-landing test was utilized to assess the jump-landing pattern, whereas the forward step-down (FSD) test was implemented to evaluate lumbopelvic functio
