Is hamstring muscle flexibility effective on the active position sense of the knee joints of the elite dancers?

We aimed to examine the hamstring muscle flexibility on the active position sense of the knee joints of elite dancers and to understand the proprioceptive accuracy of their knee joints compared to sedentary. Active position sense of knee joint of 20 dancers/20 sedentary were assessed at 20°-40°-60° of extension with/without visual feedback (w/woVF) to observe the mean error of matching angles (EoMA). Hamstring muscle flexibilitywas assessed with sit and reach test.
