Confiabilidade do modified star excursion balance test e do modified upper quarter y-balance test aplicados via telessaúde em atletas amadores

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate intra-examiner reliability, Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC95) of Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT) and of Modified Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (mUQYBT). Methods: Twenty-five athletes (with an average of 23 years, 73 kg and 1.71 m) participated in this study of these, 25 athletes performed the mSEBT, 14 performed the mUQYBT and 14 performed both tests. Reliability was assessed through two videoconference assessments, with an interval of 7 to 14 days. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC3,3), SEM and MMD95 were calculated for each TDF. Results: ICC ranged from 0.83 to 0.96 for mSEBT and from 0.47 to 0.95 for mUQYBT. The highest SEM value was 7% for the mSEBT, for the mUQYBT it ranged from 3 to 15% and the MDC95 average was approximately 8.28 cm for the mSEBT and 10.89 cm for the mUQYBT. Conclusion: The results related to the application of mSEBT and mUQYBT by videoconference in amateur athletes showed high and low reliability, respectively.
