An Observational Study of Viddha Lakshana of Sandhi Marma w. s. r. to Knee Joint Injuries in Kabaddi Players
Keywords:
Kabbadi Players, Khanjata, Knee Joint, Vaikalyakara Marma.Abstract
Introduction: The largest and the most complicated joint in the body is the knee joint. Though it is a weight-bearing joint, structurally, this joint is weak. Therefore, various deformities, diseases, and injuries occur more at the knee joint. Acharya has mentioned Janu Marma as Vaikalyakara Marma. The nature of individual defence and group offence in Kabaddi makes the players more prone to knee injuries. Methods: An observational study was conducted among 43 Kabbadi players of Physical Education College and the Professional Kabbadi Association. Data was collected based on assessment parameters. Results: The swelling was more frequent in most subjects. There were very few subjects with old injuries. A significant pattern of Khanjata was seen by gender in the injured Kabbadi players. Conclusion: Injuries found in Kabbadi players relate to the Viddha Lakshanas of Sandhi Marma (here vaikalyakara Janu marma).
