No Differences Exist in Leg-Length-Normalized Y-Balance Test Scores Between Injured and Uninjured Baseball Athletes

Key Points

• The aim is to determine if leg-length-normalized Y-balance test scores differ between injured and uninjured baseball athletes.
• Measured Y-balance test scores normalized to leg length in baseball athletes.
• Compared scores between athletes with shoulder or elbow injuries and uninjured counterparts.
• Assessed differences between injured athletes undergoing surgical versus conservative interventions.
• No significant differences in Y-balance test scores between injured and uninjured athletes for stance or stride limbs.
• Scores are consistent across injured athletes regardless of the type of intervention.
