Abstract

Objectives: The objectives of our study have been to determine in patients with unilateral PF; The intraobserver reliability of the Y-Balance Test (YBT) and the Wight Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT) measured with the inclinometer of a smartphone.Methods: Cross-sectional and observational study, carried out with 16 patients (9 women and 7 men).Results: The results obtained reveal a excelent intra-rater relative reliability. The YBT showed a CCI of 0.946; while the measures with inclinometer obtained a CCI of 0'992. In the YBT there was a statistically significant association of variables in the posteromedial direction (p= 0’004) and in the overall result (p= 0’017), when comparing the affected lower limb and the healthy. The values of dorsiflexion with knee flexion are within normal values, without a significant asymmetry of the affected and healthy limb.Conclusions: Y-Balance Test and the Wight Bearing Lunge Test measured with smart mobile phone inclinometer are two reliable tests in patients with plantar fasciitis.
