Knee angle test may spot injury risk in teen athletes
NCT ID NCT07605000
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 24 young female athletes to see if a simple measurement called the Q angle (taken while standing still) can predict how they land during sports. The goal was to find an easy way to screen for injury risk. Researchers measured the Q angle and compared it to landing mechanics using video analysis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help coaches and trainers use a simple static measurement to identify athletes at higher risk for knee injuries during sports.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. It does not test any treatment or intervention.
