A B S T R A C TThe single leg drop jump landing test may assess dynamic and static balance abilities in different phases of the landing. However objective definitions of different phases following landing and associated reliability are lacking.Therefore, we determined the existence of possible distinct phases of single leg drop jump landing on a force plate in 82 elite youth soccer players. Three outcome measures were calculated over moving windows of five sizes: center of pressure (COP) speed, COP sway and horizontal ground reaction force (GRF).Per outcome measure, a Factor Analysis was employed with all windows as input variables. It showed that four factors (patterns of variance) largely (>75%) explained the variance across subjects/trials along the 12 s time series. Each factor was highly associated with a distinct phase of the time series signal: dynamic (0.4-2.7 s), late dynamic (2.5-5.0 s), static 1 (5.0-8.3 s) and static 2 (8.1-11.7 s).Intra-class correlations (ICC) between trials were lower for the dynamic phases (0.45-0.68) than for the static phases (0.60-0.86). The COP speed showed higher ICC's (0.63-0.86) than COP sway (0.45-0.61) and GRF (0.57-0.71) for all four phases.In conclusion, following a drop jump landing unique information is available in four distinct phases. The COP speed is most reliable, with higher reliability in the static phases compared to the dynamic phases. Future studies should assess the sensitivity of information from dynamic, late dynamic and static phases.

“…The Wii Balance Board has excellent reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.77-0.89 [25]) and has been used in studies with other clinical populations [26]. We know of one study that used a Wii Balance Board to assess postural control in people with ASD [8].…”

“…Interestingly, the WBB has been shown to have validity and reliability similar to the laboratory grade force platforms used in posturography systems [6,7], whose cost is several orders of magnitude higher. This fact has motivated an increasing number of studies involving the WBB either as a rehabilitation [5] or as an assessment tool [6,8].…”

“…This fact has motivated an increasing number of studies involving the WBB either as a rehabilitation [5] or as an assessment tool [6,8]. Estimations of the path length and the speed of the COP using the WBB have generally shown excellent correlation with those using laboratory-grade platforms [6,7,9,10], across different activities and populations [6,8,10].…”
