The Y-Balance Test is a quick and easy way to assess a patient’s risk for injury. It can reliably predict athletes who are at an elevated risk for a lower-extremity injury, identifying chronic ankle instability and ACL deficiency. 

This test can be used for measuring pre and post rehabilitation functional performance.  Findings from the Y-Balance Test can be used to determine when an athlete is ready to safely return to sport participation. Additionally, this test can identify at-risk athletes, who can go through appropriate treatment or training to reduce risk of injury.

Spine & Sport Physical Therapy is the only clinic offering the Y-Balance Test in the Greater Chattanooga area.
