<div>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. Research shows that collegiate football players with a composite score below 89% had an increased probability of injury from 37.7% to 68.1% <ref name="Butler et al 2013" />. Therefore a cut point of 89% composite reach on the YBT was established (with a sensitivity of 100% and a +LR of 3.5)<ref name="Butler et al 2013" />.
