methods that identify individuals who may be at greatest risk for lower-extremity injury. One such method, the Y Balance Test, was developed by simplifying the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) by reducing it to 3 directions (anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial), and providing standardized

Balance impairments are linked to an increased risk of injury in those with a history of a lateral ankle sprain and chronic ankle instability (CAI). 1 , 2 The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is one of the most common dynamic balance tests used to identify balance deficits in individuals with

functional tasks, have been implemented specifically to identify associations with lower-extremity injury occurrence. Two of the more established lower-extremity injury screening assessments include the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and Y-Balance Test (YBT). 7 , 8 Both the SEBT and YBT are lower

The lower quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ) is a clinical movement screening test aimed at assessing dynamic balance. The YBT-LQ utilizes unilateral stance while reaching in 3 reach directions: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral to assess both a composite reach score and asymmetry assessment

Balance Test (SEBT). 9 It measures the ability to maintain single-leg stance on 1 leg, while the contralateral leg reaches as far as possible in 8 directions. The Y Balance Test (YBT), a version of the SEBT, has been widely used in athletes with typical development as a screening method for dynamic

Dance-specific Balance Test (DBT). While the literature generally concurs that dancing has potential value for enhancing postural control in both dancers and nondancers ( Alpert et al., 2009 ; Ambegaonkar et al., 2013 ), most of such studies relied on generic balance assessment tools that are devoid of

Key Points ▸ The modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT) should be used as a reliable clinical tool to assess dynamic postural control. We propose a compact version of the mSEBT for clinicians. ▸ All three directions as well as the composite score should be evaluated independently. ▸ Procedure

Key Points ▸ Hip abductor strength is moderately associated with single-leg dynamic balance as measured by the Y-Balance test (YBT). ▸ The association between hip strength and single-leg dynamic balance is strongest during the posterior reaches of the YBT. ▸ The requirement for greater hip flexion
