Interventions

Star Excursion Balance Test OTHER

The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception. It is a measure of dynamic balance that provides a significant challenge to athletes and physically active individuals. The test can be used to assess physical performance, but can also be used to screen deficits in dynamic postural control due to musculoskeletal injuries (e.g. chronic ankle instability), to identify athletes at greater risk for lower extremity injury, as well as during the rehabilitation of orthopeadic injuries in healthy active adults.\[

Balance Master device DEVICE

The Balance Master (Neurocom International, Inc Clackamas,) device is a computerized posturography device. The device consists of a fixed support surface consisting of a force table and individuals, a variety of ground elements and a computer screen that will provide visual feedback and conduct test protocols. Posturography tests a person's ability to integrate visual, vestibular and somatosensory inputs and suppress inappropriate sensory information. Thus, it can quantitatively score the person's balance and examine balance problems in detail with the tests it contains. There are various protocols that evaluate balance differently in Balance Master (BMc). Limits of Stability Test (LOS) and Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (mCTSIB) were used in the BMc.
