Why Y Balance Test?

Why Y Balance Test?

Asymmetries are a factor in increased injury risk.


How do we measure and quantify a person’s motor control and functional symmetry? The Y Balance Test (YBT). YBT allows us to quarter the body – left versus right and upper versus lower body - to test how the core and each extremity function under bodyweight loads.


What is the Y Balance Test?

Having control of your limbs requires a stable core.


The Y Balance Test was developed through years of research in injury prevention and identification of motor control changes that occur after injury. The YBT is a simple way to measure a person’s motor control and demonstrate functional symmetry. The result? A map that identifies road blocks to a person’s functional performance both in rehabilitation and performance worlds.
