A Lack Of Correlation Between Static And Dynamic Measures Of Postural Stability

Context: Static balance has been used to assess postural stability (PS) and potential predisposition to injury; yet, female athletes, who are at greater risk for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL), demonstrate better single-leg static balance than male athletes. A dynamic functional...

Description
Summary:Context: Static balance has been used to assess postural stability (PS) and potential predisposition to injury; yet, female athletes, who are at greater risk for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL), demonstrate better single-leg static balance than male athletes. A dynamic functional assessment of balance seems indicated although the relationship between dynamic and static measures of PS has yet to be quantified. Objective: To determine if a relationship exists between static and dynamic single-leg measures of PS in physically active females. It is hypothesized that no relationship exists.
