Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• ⦁ Y balance test

  The YBT for the UQ (UQYBT) is reliable for assessing unilateral UE function in a closed chain position. The UQYBT also has the patient reach three directions with one UE while in a push-up position. The LQYBT has the patient stand on one leg while reaching out in 3 different directions with the other lower extremity. They are anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral. When using the Y-Balance test kit, the 3 reaches yield a "composite reach distance" or composite score used to predict injury.(18)

  8 weeks

• ⦁ Stork stands balance test to measure static and dynamic equilibrium

  The stork balance test requires the person to stand on one leg, up on the ball of the foot, for as long as possible. The total time in seconds is recorded. The score is the best of three attempts. The table lists general ratings for this test. The stork test determines athletes' strength, conditioning, and technique and is reliable as long as it is done consistently.(30)
