The BBS has been shown to be reliable and have construct validity (Wang et al., 2006; Conradsson et al., 2007). BBS scores predicted the occurrence of multiple falls among the elderly and were strongly correlated with functional and motor performance in stroke patients.317, The BBS consists of 14 items scored on a 5-point ordinal scale, ranging from 0 to 4 (0 indicates lowest level of function; 4 indicates highest level of function), with a maximum total score of 56. Whether you are a student or a clinician, if you work with patients with neuromuscular and musculoskeletal impairments, you will find this text supplies a strong foundation in and appreciation for the field of orthotics and prosthetics that ... 1173185, General instructions for completing the scale. 2003;15(2):114-128). Although the BBS is widely used and can distinguish fallers from nonfallers, it lacks a gait assessment component. Visual dependency and/or fear of falling Verbally emphasize use of surface cues. When the test was originally designed, a score of > 45 was considered to be predictive of future falls (Thorbahn and Newton, 1996). Fall Risk Cut-Off Scores for the ABC Scale. The most commonly used clinical test of balance severity in people with PD is the Berg Balance Scale (Berg) . It consists of 14 items scored on an ordinal scale of 0 to 4 for a total of 56 points (a higher score indicates lower fall risk). Community-Dwelling Older Adults. Smith, P.

In conclusion, although these two terms can be used interchangeably as appropriate, the human balance may be re-defined as the clinically observable outcome of the human postural control system. 69 , 142-149 (2017). In many occasions the words “balance” and “postural control” are used interchangeably. 5253 Assessment Process Berg Balance Scale F.H.F. Berg Balance Scale. The BBS tests both static and dynamic balance with items meant to mimic balance challenges encountered in daily life. It doesn't make much sense statistically or clinically to take a robust picture of a gradient of fall risk and dilute it down to yes or no or black or white." "It was a misinterpretation of the original validation paper." -too long. Franjoine, M.R., Gunther J.S., Taylor, M.A. MAX SCORE=30 SCORE INTERPRETATION <18=fall history. Especially, in the clinical setting the term “balance” is more frequently used. Studies of various elderly populations (N = 31–101, 60–90 + years of age) have shown high intrarater and interrater reliability (ICC =.98,14,15 ratio of variability among subjects to total = .96–1.0,16 rs =.8817).

Each item receives a grade on a 0–4 scale, where 0 indicates the subject is unable to complete the task and 4 is the highest grade obtainable, where each grade is given specific criteria to meet. In most items, the subject is asked to maintain a given position for a specific time. Balance scale items. Objectives: To examine, using Rasch analysis, the rating scale performance of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and to describe the 45/56 cutoff score in functional terms. THE BERG BALANCE SCALE The elderly population to which the scale addresses to includes conditions such as stroke, traumatic and acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease or vestibular dysfunction. Scores range from 0 to 100%, where 0% is certainty of falling or becoming unstable and 100% is complete confidence in their balance ability. The BBS and the timed unilateral stance test are selected as outcome measures for balance and postural control because they are widely used, easy to use, and highly correlated with function.43 For Jane, it also is useful to have measures of endurance and mobility to compare pre-intervention and post-intervention performance. The BBS is reliable (both inter- and intratester) and has concurrent and construct validity.107,108.

The items evaluate the ability to maintain static positions of increasing difficulty by decreasing the base of support progressing to dynamic activities of varying difficulty (Box 7.5) The test takes 15 to 20 minutes to administer. The test is reliable, valid, and responsive for a wide range of conditions including dementia.165,166, A short version of the BBS was developed to improve the utility of the BBS and remove redundant items (e.g., standing unsupported and transferring).167 The number of items was reduced from 14 (BBS-14) to 7 (BBS-7) (Box 7.5) with an ordinal scoring system reduced to three levels from the original five. 2. A commonly utilized examination tool for static and dynamic balance (sitting and standing) is the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (Berg, 1989; Berg et al., 1992). Inter-rater reliability of the Berg Balance Scale, 30 s chair stand test and 6 m walking test, and construct validity of the Berg Balance Scale in nursing home residents with mild-to-moderate dementia. Some of these dimensions of life activity also have been suggested to improve as a result of ATM interventions.45, Paul E.H. Ricard, in Acute Care Handbook for Physical Therapists (Fourth Edition), 2014, Higher scores on the BBS indicate greater independence and better ability to balance.7 In contrast, lower scores indicate a greater fall risk.

INTERPRETATION The maximum score for the gait component is 12 points. They do not score the level of her control over postural data. Its purpose is to identify children with impairments in functional balance, which may be at risk for developmental delay. There are several existing balance assessment tools for use with clinical populations; however, a prospective study of five clinical balance tests, including the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 4 timed up-and-go (TUG), 5 and Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), 6 concluded that factors contributing to falls may interact differently at different ages and . This test takes about 15 min to complete and is a sensitive measure as it is able to discriminate between patients with various mobility aids (Berg et al., 1992). Lower and/or upper body weakness 2.
