Although giant solitary fibrous tumor is a rare soft tissue tumor but is to be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign breast tumors like fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumor at the time of clinical evaluation.
Background: Dynamic postural control is the key aspect for all day to day activities. Star excursion balance test is effective in measuring dynamic postural control. This study was aimed to evaluate the correlation between body mass index and dynamic balance.Objective: To evaluate the correlation between body mass index and dynamic postural control among young healthy adults.Methodology: Non-experimental, observational, convenient, sample size was 200 subjects. Subjects of 18 to 24 years (both men and women) were included in the study. The exclusion criteria were any recent lower limb fracture or soft tissue injury, any neurological disorders like ataxia, Parkinson and vertigo. Procedure: Subjects were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the anthropometric characteristics of body mass index (height/weight) measures were noted and the subjects performed the technique of star excursion balance test and the reach distances of the test were documented.Results: Out of 8 directions of star excursion balance test, there was a positive correlation between Body Mass Index and dynamic postural control in three directions and a negative correlation in five directions. Conclusion:The study concluded that there is an influence of Body Mass Index over dynamic postural control on anterolateral, lateral and posterolateral directions and on anterior, posterior, posteromedial, anteromedial, and medial directions, Body Mass Index has no influence over dynamic balance control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
