Description
Summary:To assess intrarater reliability, agreement and construct validity of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency and the ability of the SEBT to distinguish between healthy and ACL-deficient individuals. Patients with ACL deficiency and healthy matched controls performed the SEBT and the One Leg Hop for Distance test (OLHD). Three consecutive trials were analyzed. Also evaluated were isokinetic thigh muscle strength and self-reported function. We included 33 patients and 33 matched controls. Intrarater reliability of the SEBT was good to excellent (ICC: 0.88–0.96). Agreement was estimated by the minimal detectable change (5.93–8.36 cm). Posteromedial and posterolateral direction and composite score of the SEBT were correlated with OLHD performance (r: 0.34–0.53, p
