Abstract:
Background: Basic daily activities include balance and coordination. Lack of balance can be a major risk factor of injuries related to daily activities. The classification of balance is static balance and dynamic balance.
Objectives: this report has been undertaken to compare the static and dynamic stability of undergraduate physiotherapy students of Hyderabad and Jamshoro Sindh.
Methodology: A cross-sectional comparative method of research was considered for the study. Data was collected from multiple specialized physiotherapy departments related to undergraduate physiotherapy education in colleges of Jamshoro & Hyderabad. 252 students were randomly selected. Convenient sampling (purposive) was used. For static balance selected tests was Single limb stand tests with I- eyes, II- with eyes closed. For dynamic balance measurement Ybalance test has been performed using three directions anterior, posteromedial (PM), posterolateral (PL). The mean of Y-balance test has been calculated by measuring three times for each participant and values has been standardized by using the following equation: measured value / leg length x 100. For comparison in static and dynamic stability Paired T-test was selected as a tool for evaluation. SPSS version 22 was used.
Results: The findings of this research shows the mean of static balance in relation to dynamic balance as -.15873, it also shows the standard deviation of static stability in comparison with dynamic stability as 0.69618. The P-value of static balance in comparison to dynamic stability was 0.000 that is < 0.05.
Conclusion: There is certainly a true difference between static stability and dynamic stability of undergraduate physiotherapy students of Hyderabad and Jamshoro Sindh.
Keywords: Static balance, dynamic balance,Ybalance test, single limb stand test and Leg length discrepancy.
