AMP-03YBTK - Y Balance Test Kit

The Professional Y Balance Test Kit is an easy way to test a person's risk for injury as well as demonstrate functional symmetry. The device and protocol is highly accurate and can be used for measuring pre and post rehabilitation performance, improvement after performance enhancement programs, dynamic balance for fitness programs, and return to sport readiness. The Professional Y-Balance Test Kit is a high-end, bamboo wood kit that can be taken apart for easy storage.

Key Details and Procedure-
Purpose: Measures dynamic balance and strength to predict injury risk, particularly for lower limb, by measuring how far a person can reach in three directions.
Lower Quarter Test: The individual stands on one leg, with hands on hips, and reaches with the opposite foot in three directions: Anterior (front), Posteromedial (back-inside), and Posterolateral (back-outside).
Upper Quarter Test: The individual assumes a push-up position and reaches with one hand in medial, superolateral, and superinferolateral directions.
Scoring: The maximum reach distance in each direction is recorded and normalized (divided) by the limb length to calculate a composite score. A difference of > 4 cm in the anterior reach between legs may indicate a higher injury risk.
Validity: The YBT is considered a reliable, valid, and practical method, used for assessing functional capacity, especially after injury or during athletic screening.
Criteria for Retest: A trial is invalid if the person loses balance, puts their hands down, or puts weight on the reaching foot.
