Use of the OPTIMAL Theory of Motor Learning With the Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Balance

In brief

Assessing and improving movement quality are important components of rehabilitation. The Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ) is a balance test used to assess dynamic balance in healthy adults, athletes, and those who are rehabilitating a lower extremity injury. Performing the YBT-LQ requires utilization of different strategies. It is unknown how different practice conditions will affect dynamic balance learning or performance on YBT-LQ. This study aims to compare the influence of OPTIMAL motor learning practice with standard practice conditions on YBT-LQ measurements.
