Hands should be on the hip all the time.

BUT WHERE DO YOU GET THE NORMATIVE DATA?!

[@kaylawright8972]

Why would you have the patient test all directions on one side, followed by the other? Would it be better to do it that way or to go right anterior, left anterior, right posteromedial, left posteromedial, then right posterolateral, left posterolateral to give the patient a break on their supporting leg?

[@mdolan14221]

You are correct, see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2953327/ for a detailed and accurate explanation of the y balance tool.

[@olimercer835]

In case anyone's wondering what the study says
6 warm ups on both feet in every direction to overcome the learning effect
Then:
3 right anterior
3 left anterior
3 right posteromedial
3 left posteromedial
3 right posterolateral
3 left posterolateral

Does height or weight have anything to do with the results?

[@7050utube]

Score is a percentage of leg length

[@RedSunAcademy]

I'd like to add this to my fitness program at my martial art academy. Where do I get the scores?

[@dandansheng2418]

yeah，i got the same question, is there a score for assessment? and where can i get it?

[@AP-ur2yy]

@@dandansheng2418 yea google it

[@MrThijs520]

@@dandansheng2418 its very vague indeed. They all talk about outcome and comparing scores to healthy legs but there is no baseline to be found anywhere
