Objectives This study aims to determine the relationship between the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) and tibiofemoral angle (TF-angle) among adolescents. We also compared the angles between both the lower limbs with respect to dominancy, measured the difference between athletic and non-athletic angles, and explored the variations of these features in different sports. Methods We recruited 150 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years and classified them into two groups; group A (athletic group), including four subgroups of players of different sports, and group B (non-athletic group). We measured the Q-angle and TF-angle via computerized photogrammetry. Results This study showed a strong and statistically significant relationship between Q-angle and TF-angle ( p < 0.05). Similarly, we found a statistically significant difference in the Q-angle and TF-angle between both the lower limbs concerning dominance. Lastly, we identified a significant difference between the athletic and non-athletic groups. However, there was no difference among players of different sports ( p > 0.05). Conclusion Our study showed a strong relationship between the Q-angle and the TF-angle. The Q-angle and the TF-angle should be measured bilaterally and the nature of sports should also be considered.

“…Kapur dan Dracic (2017) menyebutkan bahwa panjang femur dapat digunakan untuk menentukan ruptur anterior cruciate ligamentum (ACL) walaupun hubungan antara keduanya lemah secara statistik. 4 Beberapa penelitian yang telah dilakukan oleh Fatahi et al (2017) dan Puckree et al (2009), menyebutkan adanya korelasi antara Q angle dengan cedera lutut, dan Q angle yang abnormal berisiko meningkatkan cedera tungkai pada atlet lari dan pemain voli. 5,6,7 Meskipun popularitas dan jumlah pemain futsal semakin meningkat di dunia olahraga, namun informasi tentang cedera pada pemain futsal masih sedikit pada literatur-literatur terutama di Indonesia, sehingga gambaran tentang kejadian cedera pada pemain futsal akan memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik dan dapat dilakukan upaya pencegahan cedera.…”

Futsal adalah jenis olahraga sepakbola populer dengan jumlah pemain yang meningkat di dunia. Tingginya insidensi cedera pada atlet futsal sering melibatkan ekstremitas bawah terutama pada bagian tungkai atas. Beberapa faktor berhubungan dengan kejadian cedera pemain futsal, salah satunya karakteristik anatomis. Literature review ini bertujuan untuk mengulas gambaran panjang femur dan Q angle dengan kejadian cedera pada olahraga. Literature review ini menggunakan data dari berbagai sumber seperti buku, jurnal, dan sumber lain serta database Pubmed yang berhubungan. Bentuk kepustakaan diutamakan berupa jurnal ilmiah dan dipublikasikan dalam 2015-2020. Pemilihan literatur mempertimbangkan hierarki piramida level of evidence. Berdasarkan penelitian yang relevan, ekstremitas bawah merupakan lokasi cedera tersering dari keseluruhan cedera dan tungkai atas merupakan bagian tubuh yang sering terkena pada pemain futsal. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian cedera tungkai secara umum adalah riwayat cedera sebelumnya, kesehatan tubuh, kebugaran fisik, dan warming up. Sedangkan faktor yang secara khusus meningkatkan cedera tungkai atas yaitu jenis kelamin, lebar panggul, tinggi badan, panjang femur, Indeks massa tubuh (IMT), kelelahan otot, dan Q-angle. Banyak faktor yang diketahui berhubungan dengan peningkatan kejadian cedera meskipun hasilnya berbeda-beda antar penelitian. Terdapat beberapa penelitian terdahulu yang menunjukkan pengaruh panjang femur terhadap kejadian cedera walaupun tidak secara langsung.

“…In this case is quadriceps reflex response time, an Etiological factor in patella femoral pain syndrome. The role of Q angle has taken into account in assessing lower-extremity injuries in athletes (Fatahi et al, 2017). Women have consistently been found to have larger Q angles than men.…”

The aim of this study is to compare according to different positions the mean right and left knee Q angle of footballers and wrestlers. In this study, found the female soccer and wrestlers mean age 20.51 ± 3.47 years, height 165.43 ± 4.82 cm, weight 58.23 ± 5.18 kg. Male soccer and wrestlers has with mean age 21.30 ± 3.45 years, height 173.28 ± 5.45 cm, weight 65.66 ± 5.73 kg. One-way ANOVA, Student t, and Duncan post hoc test were used for statistical analysis. In this study, found that the mean right and left knee Q angles of male athletes were 15.08 ± 1.79° and 14.49 ± 1.82° for the standing position, 14.26 ± 1.84° and 13.29 ± 1.82° for the supine position.The mean right and left knee Q angles of Female athletes were 18.11 ± 1.32° and 17.90 ± 1.35° for the standing position, 17.52 ± 1.36°and 16.82 ± 1.29° for the supine position. In this study, were found abnormal results. The difference between the Q angle values of footballers and wrestlers was found to be statistically significant (p <0.001). The Q angle values for male soccer players were found 15.35 for standing right Q angle and 15.12 degrees for standing left Q angle and same values 14.80 and 13.86 degrees in the male wrestlers. Q angle values for women footballers were found 17.32 decrees for standing right Q angle and 17.22 degrees for standing left Q angle, and same values 18.90 and 18.58 degrees in the women wrestlers. Standing and supine Q angle values of Wrestlers in both men and women were found to be wider than the Q angle values of soccer athletes (p<0.001). The right Q- angle values of the athletes in the standing and supine position were found higher than the left Q-angle values (p <0.05).Conclusion: The Q angles were within the normal range for footballers and wrestlers. In standing positions Q angle is higher than from supine positions Q angle. Athlete's sex, pelvic width, tibia and femur length and dominant foot may increase the quadriceps Q angle.
