Does Heel Elevation Affect Lower Quarter Y-balance Test Performance in Healthy Individuals? by Joanna Lichańska, Bartosz Zając

“…Interestingly, it isnot well understood how the ability to lift the heel off the ground during the test tasks affects outcomes.Objective: The aim of the study is to examine whether and how the YBT-LQ procedure allowing heel lift (FHL) compares to the procedure restricting heel lift (RHL) in influencing test outcomes among healthy individuals.Methods: The two versions of YBT-LQ were performed: FHL and RHLResults: Allowing heel lifting during the test results in significantly greater normalised reach distances in the ANT direction and a higher composite score (both legs), as well as greater PL reach distances for the stance leg.Conclusion: When using the YBT-LQ as a diagnostic or research tool, or when interpreting its results, it is important to remember that test outcomes are significantly affected by whether heel lifting is allowed during the test tasks.…”
