Context: The Y Balance Test was developed as a test of dynamic postural control and has been shown to be predictive of lower-extremity injury. However, the relationship between hip strength and performance on the Y Balance Test has not been fully elucidated.
Objective: The goal of this study was to identify the relationship between components of isometric hip strength and the Y Balance Test, to provide clinicians better guidance as to specific areas of muscle performance to address in the event of poor performance on the Y Balance Test.
Objectives: Evaluate the relationship of hip and trunk muscle function with the Single Leg Step-Down test (SLSD).
Study Design: Laboratory study.
Setting: Biomechanics Laboratory.
