Abstract

Background and aim: A dynamic balance assessment tests in individuals is star excursion balance test that up to now by installing eight-meter strip with a 45-degree angle to the ground and calculations were done manually. This approach reduces the accuracy and validity in addition to being time-consuming and greatly reduces the credibility of the assessment. The aim of this study was to design and construction, validity, inter-rater reliability and internal consistency test evaluation was star excursion balance.
Materials and methods: The population study of male students formed the faculty of physical education in University of Tehran. In this study, 15 patients with an average age of 21/86±1/84 years, in order to test the validity and reliability of the devices involved. Pearson's correlation coefficient to determine the concurrent validity devices and ultimately to determine the reliability of the device, inter-rater reliability and internal consistency evaluation of Cronbach's alpha test (interclass correlation coefficient stratified) was used.
Results: The results of this study showed that the device is made valid (r= 0/746) and reliability (ICC =0/961) was good.
Conclusion: Therefore, this device can be as valid tool easy to use and with minimal time to assess the balance of payments.
