What do you register. The sum of the values (medial, superolateral, inferomedial), the average of the results, or just the value on each of the sides Thanks, great video

I think you use the distance they're able to push the box (or reach) as a % of their arm length. This then corresponds to different injury risks

Is the calculation system the same as with lower extremity y-balance test?
