abstract="Decreased and asymmetrical YBT scores have been associated with an increase risk of injury. The multivariate model developed in this study helps to inform the clinician about the underlying clinical measures that are predictive of YBT performance. Future research should assess if improvements in these measures are associated with improvements in YBT performance. MILITARY/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Musculoskeletal injures are a primary source of disability in the US military. Lower extremity prevention programs are necessary to reduce the impact of musculoskeletal injury. The YBT has been found to be predictive of injury; however there is scant evidence on its association with other physical performance measures. This study helps to inform the association between the YBT and common clinical measures of functional movement, power, and flexibility. SUPPORTS: Neuromusculoskeletal Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation Research Program. COLLABORATION: This study was performed in collaboration with research assistants from the Physical Therapy Department, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
