Summary

Assessing and improving movement quality are important components of rehabilitation. The Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ) is a balance test used to assess dynamic balance in healthy adults, athletes, and those who are rehabilitating a lower extremity injury. Performing the YBT-LQ requires utilization of different strategies. It is unknown how different practice conditions will affect dynamic balance learning or performance on YBT-LQ. This study aims to compare the influence of OPTIMAL motor learning practice with standard practice conditions on YBT-LQ measurements.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test

Dynamic balance assessment performed in a standing position while balanced on one leg, participants are asked to move a plastic box with their other foot in three directions (forward, back to the left, and back to the right) and a distance measurement is recorded. Each leg will be tested three times in each direction for the YBT-LQ assessment.

BEHAVIORAL

OPTIMAL motor learning theory

OPTIMAL theoretical framework instructions and coaching will be utilized to improve motor performance through three main components: promotion of autonomy support (AS), presence of an external focus (EF) of attention, and implementation of enhanced expectancies (EE) placed upon a task.
