  • Abstract:
  • Background- Hyperextended knee refers to a condition where the knee bends forward past the locking position. Although high-impact events can exacerbate it, congenital defects are the main cause, and athletes who have these predisposing characteristics run the risk of suffering injuries to their lower limbs. Hyperextension injuries often occur during moments of extreme physical exertion or unexpected collisions. A player sprinting at full speed may suddenly change direction to evade an opponent, only to land awkwardly and hyperextend their knee. Alternatively, during aerial challenges for the ball, players may collide mid-air, leading to uncontrolled landings that place excessive strain on the knee joint. Methodology-97 healthy volunteers between the ages of 20 to 35 years participated in this study. In order to measure knee hyper-extension among participants, goniometer was used. Result-97 participants, 27 had knee hyperextension. 25 among them were having bilateral knee hyperextension whereas the remaining 2 had unilateral knee hyperextension. Conclusion- From the study it was cleared that prevalence of knee hyper-extension is low in the football players of Kolhapur city with the prevalence rate of 28% among the selected participants.
