TI  - AN INVESTIGATION OF ADDUCTOR SQUEEZE STRENGTH AND FUNCTIONAL LEVEL IN ADOLESCENT ATHLETES WITH ADDUCTOR RELATED GROIN PAIN
AB  - Purpose: Adductor-related groin pain (ARGP) are the most common groin problem in athletes. Thepresent study aimed to compare adductor squeeze strength and functional levels of adolescentathletes having ARGP with asymptomatic controls.Methods: A total of 52 adolescent athletes (26 in the ARGP group; 26 in the healthy control group)were included in the study. Visual Analog Scale was used for pain intensity. Stabilizer (pressurebiofeedback unit) was used to evaluate the adductor squeeze strength. The Hip Outcome Score(HOS) was used to determine functional levels.Results: Demographic characteristics were similar between groups (p>0.05). Adductor squeezestrength was lower in the ARGP group when compared to controls (p<0.001). The HOS activity ofdaily living and sport subscales were lower in the ARGP group than the control group (p<0.001).Conclusion: Athletes with ARGP demonstrated lower muscle strength and functional levels thanhealthy controls. Determining the muscle strength and functional levels of adolescent athletes iscritical to identify the athletes at risk to prevent the re-injury of the adductor muscles.
