Study Summary

This trial is testing whether the YBT-LQ is predictive of concussion in high school athletes, and whether visual perturbations have an effect on the Y-balance and its injury prevention capability.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for high school athletes, grades 9-12, who play sports either through their school or a club. Middle school students from grades 6-8 may also join if requested by the school or organization. Athletes with a history of seizures cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether the Y Balance Test (YBT-LQ), which measures dynamic balance, can predict concussions in athletes. It includes standard YBT-LQ and an additional version with visual disturbances to see if they affect concussion prediction or lower extremity injury risk.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical performance tests rather than medication, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs. However, participants might experience fatigue or muscle soreness as a result of the balance tests.
