Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, in the evaluation of the range of motion, which are the basis of rehabilitation and exercise guidance, we brought a new perspective of "case classification by evaluation of passive and active joint range of motion" and conducted it with the aim of establishing evidence for effective exercise intervention. The open-legged jump of cheerleading was set as a movement task, and the relationship between multifaceted related evaluation indicators, including the range of motion of the hip joint of passive and active, and the angle of the leg opening during the open-legged jump was examined through cross-sectional studies. In the subjects of this study, the difference between the range of joint motion of passive and active joint movements was small, and no association with performance was found.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで他動的な関節可動域を可動域測定の基本としてきた身体機能評価において、本研究は自動的な関節可動域との比較という新しい視点をもたらし、選択的かつ有効な介入を、明確かつ簡便に示せる点において、リハビリテーションや運動指導への応用につながり、一般社会にも大きな価値をもたらすことが期待できる。本研究では対象者の特性により仮説通りの結果は得られなかった。今後は場合分けによって効果的な介入を行うことでその有用性を検証する必要がある。
