Testing
The primary investigator was blinded to the athlete’s previous
ankle injury status. The SLB test was defined as standing on
one foot without shoes with the contralateral knee bent and
not touching the weight bearing leg; the hips were level to
the ground; the eyes open and fixed on a spot marked on the
wall; and then the eyes are closed for 10 seconds. The athlete
reports any sense of imbalance. The investigator notes if the
athlete’s legs touched each other, the feet moved on the floor,
the foot touches down, or the arms moved from their start
