Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Superior Arm Distance in Upper Extremity Y-Balance Test The Upper-Extremity Y-Balance Test (UE-YBT) is a validated tool to quantify distance of arm reach in three directions while stabilising the bodyweight on both feet and the other hand [Gorman et al., 2012]. The distance in every direction is recorded in centimeters. For the primary outcome parameter, the reach distance of the superior direction of the injured side will be compared to the non-injured side.	—
