Single institution observational study.To investigate the ceiling and floor effects of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), and Brief-BESTest, as well as to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliabilities and minimal detectable change (MDC) of the Mini...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare score distributions and fall prediction accuracies between the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), Mini-BESTest, Brief-BESTest, and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Methods: The BESTest, Mini-BESTest, Brief-BESTest, and BBS were performed for 57 ...
The validity of the BESTest, the Mini-BESTest, and the new Brief-BESTest to identify people with or without a neurological diagnosis was compared. Interrater reliability of the test versions was evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficients. Validity was further investigated by determining the ...

Most standardized balance tests cannot detect subtle balance deterioration in middle age, or identify those at higher risk for accelerated balance decline due to a ceiling effect.To determine whether the Brief Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Brief-BESTest), partially instrumented with accelerometry, can...
Conclusion: The Persian version of Brief-BESTest has high inter- and intra-rater reliability for evaluation of balance in patients with stroke. Therefore, it is recommended for use by clinicians in the clinic and for research purposes in the clinical trials.Parisa Komijani...
