Coordination is the ability to move two or more body parts under control, smoothly and efficiently. Coordination is typically measured using tests of hand-eye or foot-eye coordination such as throwing, catching or bouncing a ball, or hitting an object. Manual dexterity tests, or tests of hand-eye coordination also fall into this category. Static balance is our ability to hold our body in a specific position and posture while dynamic balance is our ability to maintain balance while moving our body and walking. In static balance the body remains stationary, and the centre of mass is over the base of support. This type of balance is important when doing activities such as squatting 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 3) Item-level scores range from 0-6, determined by symptom level. 4) Item scores are summed: minimum = 0; maximum = 132. Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC): 1) A cognitive screen assessing orientation, immediate memory and delayed recall, and concentration. 2) Item scores are summed. 3) Score range, 0-30: higher scores indicate better Tandem stand: While standing next to something sturdy that you can hold onto if you to lose your balance, put the heel of one foot on the toe of the other foot. Try to hold for more than 10 seconds, without swaying or having to move your feet. Repeat with the other foot. One-legged stand: Make like a stork and try standing on one foot. The Flamingo Balance Test is total body balance test, and forms part of the Eurofit Testing Battery. The test requires participants to stand on one leg on a beam, with the other leg flexed at the knee and the foot of this leg held close to the buttocks. This single leg balance test assesses the strength of the leg, pelvic, and trunk muscle as their balance. If the patient can hold a position for 10 seconds without moving their feet or needing support, go on to the next position. If not, STOP the test. Patients should not use an assistive device (cane or walker) and they should keep their eyes open. The 4-Stage Balance Test An older adult who cannot hold the tandem stand for at least 10 Chair Stand Test for lower body strength and endurance. Arm Curl Test for upper body strength. Chair Sit-and-Reach Test for lower body flexibility. Back Scratch Test for upper body flexibility. 8-Foot Up and Go Test for agility and balance. 6-minute Walk Test (or 2 minute Step in Place Test) for cardiovascular fitness. The BESS has been used to investigate balance in athletes with a sports-related concussion, 17,23,31,32 ankle injury, 8 and varied training backgrounds, 2 as well as among community-dwelling adults. 19 Balance differences have been identified in these populations using instrumented balance-testing devices. 5,9,14,17,22 XCn3Z.
