Abstract

A fundamental role in movement control is given by proprioceptive information from a multitude of mechanoreceptors that are integrated and processed by the human brain. Understanding proprioception and the test method, such as the threshold for detecting passive movement and reproducing joint position, are used to assess proprioception. The origin of the methods, test apparatus and procedures or protocols used in each approach are compared and discussed. Instability of a lower limb joint is a risk factor for these areas. Therefore, the development of proprioception can play an important role in injury prevention. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a dynamic postural control task that has gained notoriety in clinical and research settings, it is able to provide objective measures to differentiate deficiencies and improve dynamic postural control related to lower limb joint injuries. The clinical application of the SEBT led to the development of the Y Balance Test (YBT), both SEBT and YBT involve similar movements that are deemed to measure and challenge dynamic balance.

REZUMAT. Testele de echilibrare dinamică SEBT și YBT. Un rol fundamental în controlul mișcării este dat de informațiile proprioceptive de la o multitudine de mecanoreceptori care sunt integrați și procesați de creierul uman. Înțelegerea propriocepției și a metodei de testare, cum ar fi pragul de detectare a mișcării pasive și de reproducere a poziției articulare, sunt utilizate pentru a evalua propriocepția. Se compară și se discută originea metodelor, a aparatelor de testare și a procedurilor sau protocoalelor utilizate în fiecare abordare. Instabilitatea unei articulații inferioare a membrelor este un factor de risc pentru aceste zone. Prin urmare, dezvoltarea propriocepției poate juca un rol important în prevenirea leziunilor. Testul de echilibru al excursiei Stelare (SEBT) este o sarcină dinamică de control postural care a câștigat notorietate în setările clinice și de cercetare, este capabil să ofere măsuri obiective pentru a diferenția deficiențele și pentru a îmbunătăți controlul dinamic postural legat de leziunile articulare ale membrelor inferioare. Aplicarea clinică a SEBT a condus la dezvoltarea testului de echilibru Y (YBT), atât SEBT, cât și YBT implică mișcări similare care se consideră că măsoară și provoacă echilibrul dinamic.
