Abstract
The development of star excursion balance test (SEBT) kit is the development of equipment to assess practicing dynamic balance and conducting research as well as in physical fitness training, the prevention and treatment of injuries, and rehabilitation. It is an experimental research model. The researchers designed and built the SEBT kit and then compared the measurement results obtained using the developed kit with the results obtained using a floor-mounted tape-based SEBT, as well as assessing satisfaction of the developed SEBT kit of 60 healthy female and male volunteers aged 18 - 35. The dynamic balance of both legs was tested in 8 directions with both methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics describing general characteristics of the subjects, satisfaction score, and the SEBT test score. Paired Sample t-test was used to compare the results of both assessment methods. The dynamic balance test results showed no statistically significant differences for the left leg and the right leg in all directions between the developed SEBT kit and floor-mounted tape-based (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the developed SEBT kit can be used to test dynamic balance and users are satisfied with the developed SEBT kit at the highest level.
