Neuromuscular control of the lower limbs has been explored in the liturgy in an attempt to elucidate possible causes and mechanisms of lower limb injuries. Among other instruments, the Y Balance Test has been used to evaluate neuromuscular control, mobility and stability of lower limbs and hip. The device used to perform the test uses the anterior posteromedial and posterolateral components of the Star Excursion Balance Test, the test that gave rise to the Y Balance Test. During the test, the individual needs a maximum distance in each direction in a stable way without leaving the posture indicated by the evaluator. To express a reach distance as a division of the length, are calculated as normalized distances of each direction for each lower limb, asymmetry between the limbs, and a composite score of the whole test. Asymmetries with a value equal to or higher than 4 cm and/or composite score below 94% are related to neuromotor deficit suggesting a greater probability of injuries in the lower limbs. Keywords
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
