Procedures The standing single leg balance test was used to evaluate the static balance on dominant and non-dominanat with eyes open and eyes closed. The standing single leg balance test measures postural stability (i.e., balance) and is more difficult to perform due to the narrow base of support required to do the test. Standing on one leg requires the use of many of your body's systems. Balancing on one leg requires leg strength, static balance, and integration of vision, inner ear, and other receptors in your muscles and joints. The single leg stance is a very effective exercise for improving balance. This exercise can be made more challenging as your balance gets better. Star Excursion Balance Test(SEBT)is a tool to assess the dynamic balance of healthy people and athletes.This evaluation tool uses …show more content…
When reaching in the lateral and posterolateral directions, participants must reach behind the stance leg to complete the task. They began with the anterior direction and progressed clockwise around the grid. All participants began with a right stance leg in the center of the grid. After completion of the three trials in the eight directions and another 5-min rest period, the test continued with a left stance leg. The investigator recorded each reach distance with a mark on the tape as the distance from the center of the grid to point of maximum excursion by the reach leg.(Dabholkar et al.,2012) The SEBTs are tests of dynamic stability that may provide a more accurate assessment of lower extremity function than tests involving only quiet
