Y balance scores are related to quadriceps strength at return to activity following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) results in lingering quadriceps deficits leading to long-term dysfunction. A simple screening tool such as the Y Balance Test (YBT) may provide a surrogate measure of strength deficits. Quadriceps strength and dynamic balance using the YBT were assessed in ACL patients and controls. Significant moderate correlations were found between non-ACL anterior YBT reach and ACL strength scores (p < 0.05).
