SCORING PERFORMANCE VARIATIONS BETWEEN THE Y-BALANCE TEST, A MODIFIED Y-BALANCE TEST, AND THE MODIFIED STAR EXCURSION BALANCE TEST

摘要

Background The Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (MSEBT) and the Y-Balance Test- Lower Quarter (YBT-LQ) are utilized to assess dynamic postural stability. These assessments cannot be used interchangeably secondary to kinematic variations and performance differences. A Modified Y-Balance Test-Lower Quarter (MYBT-LQ) was developed to determine if a modification allows performance scores to be directly compared to the MSEBT.
