|a The purpose of the study was to compare static stability and dynamic stability through measuring postural sway and time to stabilization. While past research shows that both of these methods are able to detect deficits in joint stability and states that time to stabilization may be more sensitive and therefore a better test than postural sway, there is no data to support this conclusion due to a lack of comparison studies. Participants were undergraduate, graduate, or faculty and staff at Barry University ages 18 and up. Participants reserved the right to withdraw from the study if they felt uncomfortable, unable to do the tests, or felt as though they might harm themselves. The study did not control for participant’s athletic participation or ability and their exercise levels were not taken into consideration. The study will help enable certified athletic trainers and physical therapists to choose a prescreening and return to play test for lower limb stability. By enabling these professions to view comparison tests they may better choose tests that will work for their athletes, patients, and in clinics. Since TTS and postural sway are both recognized as methods for measuring proprioception and deficits while eliminating variables such as height, flexibility, and subject ability, comparison studies between these two measurements may help to shed light on differences between them and to better show the advantages and disadvantages of both tests. With a highly usable and reliable test, predisposition to injury may come to light enabling correction before injury. It may also help to establish a better return to play criteria to be used along with current functional return to play testing that could prevent athletes going back to activity too soon and putting themselves at risk. One example of where this would help is return to play following a lateral ankle sprain. They are one of the most frequent injuries in sports and the recurrence rate may be as high as 60 percent.12,16 By using quantifiable tests, this reoccurrence may become more preventable.17 While it is recognized by certified athletic trainers and physical therapists alike that deficits in balance may predispose one to injury, very few put these measurements to use during preseason. It is also a common concern that athletes and patients may be returning to activity too soon thus leading to further injury and reinjury. With including stability tests in preseason screening, this may identify possible predisposition to injury, and also serve as a guideline for return to play. This would then help to put athletes, athletic trainers, and coaches’ minds at ease that a full recovery has taken place. |
