Star Excursion Balance Test as a predictor of lower extremity injury in high school basketball players.
STUDY DESIGN Prospect i ve cohort . OBJECTIVE To determine if Star Excursion Balance Test ( SEBT ) reach distance was associated with risk of lower extremity injury among high school basketball players . BACKGROUND Although balance has been proposed as a risk factor for sports-related injury , few research ers have used a dynamic balance test to examine this relationship . METHODS AND MEASURES Prior to the 2004 basketball season , the anterior , posteromedial , and posterolateral SEBT reach distances and  limb lengths  of 235 high school basketball players were measured bilaterally . The Athletic Health Care System Daily Injury Report was used to document time loss injuries . After normalizing for lower limb length , each reach distance , right/left reach distance difference , and composite reach distance were examined using odds ratio and logistic regression analyses . RESULTS The reliability of the SEBT components ranged from 0.82 to 0.87 ( ICC3,1 ) and was 0.99 for the measurement of limb length . Logistic regression models indicated that players with an anterior right/left reach distance difference greater than 4 cm were 2.5 times more likely to sustain a lower extremity injury ( P<.05 ) . Girls with a composite reach distance less than 94.0 % of their limb length were 6.5 times more likely to have a lower extremity injury ( P<.05 ) . CONCLUSIONS We found components of the SEBT to be reliable and predictive measures of lower extremity injury in high school basketball players . Our results suggest that the SEBT can be incorporated into preparticipation physical examinations to identify basketball players who are at increased risk for injury
