Abstract
0bjective:To estimate intratester and intertester reliability and learning effects during the Star Excursion Balance Tests (SEBTs).Setting:A university athletic training research laboratory.Subjects:Sixteen healthy volunteers with no history of balance disorders or significant lower extremity joint pathology.Measurements:Length of excursion was measured manually for each trial.Results:ICCs for intratester reliability were .78–.96 on day 1 and 32–.96 on day 2. ICCs for intertester reliability were .35–.84 on day 1 and .81–.93 on day 2. Significant learning effects were identified for 4 of the 8 tests.Conclusions:Estimates of intratester and intertester reliability were high, but adequate practice trials should be performed before taking baseline measures.
