Falling of the pelvic leg swinging during running is considered as one of the main indicators in identifying injured athletes or athletes who are prone to injury, which is also known as Trendelenberg's movement pattern. In this regard, various performance tests have been introduced to identify people with Trendelenburg's motor deficit, such as one leg squat, pelvic drop, and one leg stand. However, it seems that the proposed tests are different from each other in terms of the amount of demand on the pelvic stabilizing muscles and may have different results in determining the Trendelenburg motor defect. Therefore, according to the importance of the knowledge of the correlation of functional variables based on clinical evidence, it seemed necessary to conduct a study with the aim of investigating the validity and specificity of the one leg squat, pelvic drop, and one leg stand tests in diagnosing Trendelenberg's movement defect while running. Shapiro-Wilk test will also be used to check the normality of data distribution.
