Y Balance Test
The Y Balance Test is a physical assessment used to measure balance, stability, and core strength. During the test, an individual stands on one leg while reaching as far as possible with the other leg in three directions: forward, sideways, and backward. The distances reached are then recorded and compared to assess performance. This test helps identify movement deficiencies and potential injury risks, particularly for athletes or active individuals. It is a valuable tool in rehabilitation and sports training, as it provides insights into an individual’s balance and functional movement capabilities.
