Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The Y Balance Test (YBT) is a tool used to test a person’s risk for injury. It can be used for both the upper quarter and lower quarter. The YBT for the lower quarter (LQYBT) has been thoroughly researched as its protocol is based on research done on the Star Excursion Balance Test. The Star Exursion Balance Test demonstrated reliable results on its ability to predict LE injury in high school basketball players (1), and the LQYBT has identified athletes at increased risk for injury (2,3).
