Abstract
An association between static and dynamic postural control exists in adults with back pain. We aimed to determine whether this association also exists in adolescent athletes with the same condition. In all, 128 athletes with and without back pain performed three measurements of 15 s of static (one-legged stance) and dynamic (star excursion balance test) postural control tests. All subjects and a matched subgroup of athletes with and without back pain were analyzed. The smallest center of pressure mediolateral and anterior–posterior displacements (mm) and normalized highest reach distance were the outcome measures. No association was found between variables of the static and dynamic tests for all subjects and the matched group with and without back pain. The control of static and dynamic posture in adolescent athletes with and without back pain might not be related.
