Balance disorder is a major risk factor for falls. The population that has suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke has balance disorders. Over the last few years the assessment of balance has taken on special importance, carrying out the development, adaptation and validation of various tools that assess it.
The Brief-BESTest has 6 items, it has demonstrated comparable reliability to the Mini-BESTest and potentially superior sensitivity. This version represents all dimensions based on the original BESTest theory.
