Abstract
Context:There is a growing need for objective measures of proprioception and balance in athletic females.Objective:To determine the intertester and intratester reliability of the Neurocom Balance Master (NBM) forward lunge (FL), step up and over (SUO), and step quick turn (SQT) tests on a young, healthy, female population.Design:Repeated measures design.Setting:University medical laboratory.Participants:15 young healthy female volunteers (height 155.1 cm ± 18.5 cm, mass 61.1 kg ± 7.3 kg, age 24.2 years ± 2.9 years).Measurements:The average of three trials on the FL, SUO, and SQT taken during each of three testing sessions on the NBM long force plate.Results:Inter and intratester reliability for the FL (ICC r = 0.71 to r = 0.93) and SQT (ICC r = 0.70 to r = 0.88) ranged from good to excellent while reliability for the SUO ranged from fair to excellent (ICC r = 0.59 to r = 0.92).Conclusions:The three NBM tests are reliable in healthy, young, physically active females.
