Brief Summary
This graduate student research study has two purposes; the first purpose is to examine the criterion validity of the Y Balance Test (YBT) with the Limits of Stability Test (LOS) in healthy middle-aged adults. The second purpose is to examine balance changes using the YBT following a home-based exercise program.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Y Balance Test
The test assesses performance during single-leg balance with a reaching task in the anterior (ANT), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral (PL) directions to determine lower extremity movement asymmetry and balance deficits. ANT, PM, and PL are a composite measurement.

Study Arms (2)
home exercise program
EXPERIMENTAL• The exercise group will follow a home exercise protocol for eight weeks: that involves standing on one foot, walking, and doing wall squats.
non exercise group
ACTIVE COMPARATOR• The non-exercise group will continue with their usual life style
Interventions
Subjects in the exercise group will be instructed to follow the intervention protocol for eight weeks. The intervention consists of five exercises: standing on one foot, walking heel to toe, heel walking, side kicks, and wall squats. Each exercise will be repeated three times per week for eight weeks.
