1 Before you use it
What it is
Metadata only. A standardised, commercialised version of the Star Excursion Balance Test using a purpose-built kit, with anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reaches on a fixed apparatus.
The standardisation is genuinely useful. The kit and the trademark are what put it in the red tier.
When to reach for it
When a service already owns the kit and uses the protocol. Otherwise use SEBT with tape — same construct, no kit.
Patterns it serves · 2

Scoring
Reach distances normalised to limb length, reported per direction and as a composite, with side-to-side asymmetry.
What it doesn’t measure
Reactive control. Same limitation as SEBT.

Interpreting it
Is the change real?
Student trap. Calling a taped floor test a Y-Balance Test. If it's tape, it's the SEBT — name it correctly.

This is a learning tool. It does not diagnose patients and does not replace your clinical educator.
