Amaç: Fonksiyonel denge testleri sıklıkla bireylerin dengesini değerlendirmek, rehabilitasyon sonuçlarını izlemek ve düşme riskini belirlemek için kullanılır. Güç ve doğruluk gerektiren motor görevler dominant ekstremitelerle gerçekleştirilir. Bu nedenle, uzuv baskınlığının fonksiyonel denge testlerini etkileme olasılığı vardır. Literatürdeki çalışmalarda dominant bacağın denge testlerini etkileyip etkilemediği konusunda bir fikir birliği yoktur. Bilgimize göre dominant kol için bir çalışma yoktur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dominant bacağın tek ayak üzerinde durma testini (TADT) ve tandem duruş testini (TDT) etkileyip etkilemediğini, dominant kolun ise fonksiyonel uzanma testini (FUT) etkileyip etkilemediğini araştırmaktır.
Yöntemler: Bu prospektif kesitsel çalışmaya yüz sağlıklı genç yetişkin dahil edildi. Katılımcıların yaşı, boyu ve kilosu not edildi ve vücut kitle indeksleri (VKİ) hesaplandı. Katılımcılara dominant ve dominant olmayan bacak ile TADT ve TDT uygulandı. FUT ise dominant ve dominant olmayan kol ile uygulandı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların 93'ünde (%93,0) sağ ekstremite dominant iken, 7'sinde (%7,0) sol ekstremite dominanttı. Dominant ve non-dominant bacakla uygulanan TADT ve TDT skorları açısından fark yoktu (p>0,05). Dominant ve non-dominant kolla uygulanan FUT skoru açısından da fark yoktu (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmamız bacak baskınlığının TADT’yi ve TDT'yi etkilemediğini ve kol baskınlığının ise FUT'u etkilemediğini ortaya koydu. TADT, TDT ve FUT'u uygulamak için kullanılacak ekstremite katılımcının tercihine bırakılabilir veya duruma uygun şekilde dominant/dominant olmayan ekstremite ile uygulanabilir.

Arm and Leg Dominance Does Not Affect Functional Balance Tests

Objective: Functional balance tests are frequently used to evaluate individuals' balance, monitor rehabilitation outcomes, and determine fall risk. Motor tasks requiring strength and accuracy are performed with the dominant extremities. Therefore, there is a possibility that limb dominance may affect functional balance tests. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the dominant leg affects the one-leg standing test (OLST) and tandem stance test (TST), while the dominant arm affects the functional reach test (FRT).
Methods: One hundred healthy young adults were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. Participants' age, height, and weight were noted, and their body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Participants underwent OLST and TST on the dominant and non-dominant legs. FRT was applied with the dominant and non-dominant arms.
Results: While 93 (93.0%) of the participants were right extremity dominant, 7 (7.0%) were left extremity dominant. There was no difference in terms of OLST, and TST performed with the dominant and non-dominant leg (p>0.05). There was no difference in terms of FRT applied with the dominant and non-dominant arms (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Our study revealed that leg dominance did not affect OLST and TST, and arm dominance did not affect FRT. The extremity for applying OLST, TST, and FRT can be left to participant preference or applied based on the dominant/non-dominant extremity as appropriate to the situation.
