Abstract

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the most common knee injury that might occur during exercise. An ACL causes a balance disorder that can be considered as a risk factor for recurring injury. Identification of balance disturbances in subjects with ACL injury should be conducted to minimize the risk of re-injury. Objectives: this study aims to determine the validity of star excursion balance test with biodex balance system SD as a gold standard Method: This study is a diagnostic test with cross-sectional study approach. The number of research sample was 20 respondents selected as control group, five people with ACL injury as the case group. All subjects were examined with the biodex balance system SD (Overall Stability Index) and star excursion balance test (% MAXD). Results: The result of the correlation analysis between the overall stability index and %MAXD was not significant with r = -0.316; p = 0.175. Hence, the cut-off point could not be determined due to the insignificant correlation, thus the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the star excursion balance test could not be determined. Conclusion: Star excursion balance test was invalid as a dynamic balance test if the Biodex Balance Test SD was used as a gold standard.

Abstract

Lower extremity injuries are the most common cases of athlete’s injury. Sports athletes often experience perturbations that disturb their balance. Poor balance is associated with an increased risk of injury in athletes. Plantar fasciitis affects the biomechanics of the foot and impairs pressure distribution and balance during walking and running. To compare the dynamic balance between athletes with plantar fasciitis and without plantar fasciitis. This analytic observational with a cross sectional retrospective study design was performed on 101 athletes, aged 16-32 years. There were 49 male athletes and 52 female athletes have undergone dynamic balance checked with the star excursion balance test (SEBT) and plantar fasciitis examinations based on ultrasonography (USG) examination. There was no difference in the normalized SEBT value between the athlete’s group with plantar fasciitis and the athletes without plantar fasciitis, with p value for the anterior direction = 0.317, anterolateral = 0.215, lateral = 0.062, posterolateral = 0.180, posterior = 0.246, posteromedial = 0.354, medial = 0.409, and anteromedial = 0.245. In summary, there is no difference in the dynamic balance between athletes with plantar fasciitis and without plantar fasciitis. Further research is needed to determine the compensation mechanism in athletes with plantar fasciitis and specific exercises for different sport.
