A Systematic Review of the Star Excursion Balance Test to Define Clinically Meaningful Psychometric Values.

ABSTRACT:

Context

The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is recognized for simultaneously assessing strength, range of motion (ROM), balance, neuromuscular control, and functional performance of the lower extremity. Although there is evidence to support the SEBT, a contemporary systematic review to define its clinically relevant psychometric properties is needed.

Objective

To define clinically relevant psychometric values for the SEBT.

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, Medline, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Scopus databases were searched from database inception through November 2023.

Study selection

Clinical studies reporting reliability, validity, and responsiveness of SEBT were included.

Study design

Systematic review.

Level of evidence

Level 3.
