Description
The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a clinical method of assessing dynamic balance in healthy adults and athletes1. Furthermore, this functional test may be extended to the examination of lower extremity injury, such as ankle instability, in injured populations2. The ‘ONPoint System’ is a tool developed by Dr. Jacob Reeves, which attempts to reduce barriers for clinicians seeking to use the SEBT. Before widespread implementation, the ONPoint system must first be examined in terms of both its validity and reliability. To do this, measurements taken from the OnPoint mat were compared to data obtained from a pressure mapping device, called a TekScan, by placing the ONPoint mat over top of the TekScan tiles. Furthermore, multiple raters were implemented, as well as a single rater for multiple trial sets, in order to assess both intra-rater and inter-rater reliability.
