NORMATIVE VALUES OF STAR EXCURSION BALANCE TEST IN YOUNG ADULTS: A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a simple, reliable, cost effective screening test which is used to evaluate the dynamic balance of lower limbs in 8 selective directions to determine potential risk of injury. Reach distance values of SEBT can be used as an index of dynamic postural control. However, despite its global use, there are currently no normative values available for the SEBT in healthy young adults. In this test volunteer has to maintain balance on one lower extremity and performed 3 trials of the SEBT in each of the 8 directions while balancing with other lower extremity. Materials & Methods: Normative values of star excursion balance test were measured on 240 young adults (114 males and 114 females) from 18 -30 years with different height and BMI. Results: Total 228 number of volunteers (114 male and 114 female) with mean age of male 21.45 ?2.37 and mean age of female 21.19 ? 2.02 were selected for the study and according to height and BMI normative values were recorded in both gender. Conclusion: The normative values of star excursion balance test can be used by physical therapists, coaches and athletic trainers in order to interpret and compare with the normal values which will help to find out the risk of injury. Individual data generated from this test which will help to find out the risk of injury.
