Abstract

The main objective of this study was to compare the lower extremity alignment assessment in traditional and Aston paradigms. In this study, the 13-17 years old students of Gilan participated. A pelvic inclinometer was used to assess the pelvic tilt; a caliper was used to assess the genu varum and genu valgum, and a ruler was used to assess the flatfoot. Also, a photography camera was used to assess the lower extremity alignment using the Aston assessment paradigm. In this study, a nonparametric chi-square test was used to test the variables. The results of the study showed no significant difference between traditional and Aston paradigms in terms of pelvic tilt and flatfoot assessment. However, there was a significant difference between the two methods in terms of genu varum and genu valgum. According to obtained results to assess the pelvic alignment in the frontal plane and the foot, the Ason paradigm can be a replacement for traditional methods. This is because; the method is a simpler method than the traditional assessment models. However, the two methods were significantly different in terms of knee alignment assessment.
