Background: The Y balance test is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, and proprioception. It is a measure of dynamic balance that provides a significant challenge to athletes and physically active individuals. The test can be used to assess physical performance, but can also be used to screen deficits in dynamic postural control due to musculoskeletal injuries (e.g. chronic ankle instability), to identify athletes at greater risk for lower extremity injury, as well as during the rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries in healthy active adults Objective: To know the effect of 4 sessions of treatment by interferential therapy (IFT) 15-20 minutes, and SWD 15 min on the balance and dynamic postural component using Y balance test Methods: Subjects will be randomized into IFT and laser group (n=20 each). After the first session, the balance component will be measured pre-post-intervention. Outcome assessment: Y Balance tests score.
