“…Numerous SEBT studies have identified postural stability deficits in pathological populations namely patellofemoral pain syndrome (Aminaka & Gribble, 2008), anterior cruciate ligament (Herrington, Hatcher & Hatcher, 2009) and chronic ankle instability (Gribble & Hertel, 2004b, Nakagawa & Hoffman, 2004. A limitation of this study is that we did not follow up players throughout the season to evaluate injury incidence and areas injured.…”

M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPTSetting: Gymnasium at an elite junior rugby union screening camp.Participants: 102 healthy male elite rugby union players (age = 17.9 ± 1.1 years, height = 1.83 ± 0.07 m, body mass = 90.5 ± 11.3 kg). Main Outcome Measures:Participants were assessed on the Anterior (A), Posterior-medial (PM), and Posterior-lateral (PL) reach directions of the SEBT. Results:Normative data for SEBT performance in the A, PM and PL reach directions were established for an elite junior rugby union population. No significant differences in dynamic postural stability were observed between the forward and back position units. Conclusions:This study provides normative SEBT data on an elite junior rugby union population, which enables clinicians to compare player dynamic postural stability and has implications for use in the prevention and management of player injuries.

“…However, few studies dealt with the assessment of both types of stability in this population of patients [5,8,14,34,30]. The results obtained by Sefton et al let the author conclude that assessment of postural stability under static conditions is more important from clinical point of view than functional assessment [8].…”

“…While ankle sprains [4] and ACL deficiencies [7] were found to impact performance on the SEBT among recreationally active participants, the effect of previous injury, in general, has not been investigated. Given that almost every epidemiological study of running has identified previous injury (usually defined as an injury occurring in the 12 months prior to the study) as a risk factor for future injuries [8,9], previous injury seems to be an important characteristic of recreationally active persons, especially runners.…”

Open AccessResearch Article neuromuscular control [4]. The protocol is easily implemented in the field and clinic, requiring no specialized equipment or advanced training. In addition, the SEBT is challenging enough to stress the postural control system, making it an ideal task to be used by athletic trainers and physical therapists to assess balance within athletic populations [3,5].The association between dynamic balance, as measured by the SEBT, and foot morphology was investigated in 2 studies with mixed results [2,6]. On one hand, Gribble and Hertel [6] found no significant relationships between foot types and reach distances on the SEBT using rearfoot and forefoot angles (classified as pes planus, pes rectus, and pes cavus) in 30 recreationally active participants. They concluded that foot type was not an important covariate of balance performance. On the other hand, Cote et al.[2] found differences in reach distance on a few SEBT directions as a function of foot type in 16 healthy individuals when foot type was determined using the navicular drop method (classified as pronated, neutral or supinated). They suggest that postural stability is affected by foot morphology and that foot type needs to be controlled for when measuring balance performance [2]. These differing results suggest that the association between dynamic balance performance and foot morphology is not well understood.In addition to morphology, another factor that may be important in order to interpret dynamic balance performance is history of injuries. While ankle sprains [4] and ACL deficiencies [7] were found to impact performance on the SEBT among recreationally active participants, the effect of previous injury, in general, has not been investigated. Given that almost every epidemiological study of running has identified previous injury (usually defined as an injury occurring in the 12 months prior to the study) as a risk factor for future injuries [8,9], previous injury seems to be an important characteristic of recreationally active persons, especially runners. The mechanism that links past and future injuries, however, still needs clarification [10]. Impaired dynamic balance performance is one potential underlying AbstractThe purposes of this descriptive study were to explore the association between foot morphology, severity of past injuries and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) performance in recreational runners. We interviewed 20 healthy recreational runners (aged 23-58 years) about their running habits and history of injuries. We calculated arch height index, a measure of foot morphology, from their static footprint. Participants performed the SEBT. Participants with lower medial longitudinal foot arch reached significantly farther on all SEBT directions except for anterolateral. The Spearman correlation (Rs) between arch index and those 7 directions ranged from 0.455 to 0.617 (p values ranging from 0.01 to 0.05). Severity of injuries in the past was not associated with SEBT performance. Assessing parameters that are associated ...
