Lower limb strength, flexibility, and running biomechanics in adolescents with and without Osgood-Schlatter disease: comparisons by sex.

A study published in Physical Therapy in Sport examined differences in lower extremity strength, flexibility, and running mechanics between adolescents with and without Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD), with comparisons stratified by sex. The research provides clinicians with sex-specific biomechanical and physical performance data that may inform rehabilitation and injury management strategies for this common adolescent knee condition. Findings from this type of comparative analysis can help physical therapists better tailor assessment and intervention approaches for young athletes affected by OSD.
