Why Do 80% of Young Athletes Have Dynamic Knee Valgus?

Consider the age group of 12 to 18. In a study assessing dynamic knee valgus, what percentage of these individuals exhibited more than five degrees of this condition? Out of thousands of participants, primarily girls, the prevalence was striking. While one might guess 12%, 20%, or even 30%, the figure was around 80%. This prevalence study revealed a significant occurrence of dynamic knee valgus among young athletes, with some clubs showing slightly lower or even higher rates.
