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
For the Berg Balance Scale, the mean difference between the two raters was 0.13 and the limits of agreement were small (–0.25; 0.51). For the Static Balance Test, the mean difference between the two raters was −0.02 and also the limits of agreement (–0.06; 0.02) were even smaller than for the Berg Balance Scale.

The Static Balance Test took three to five minutes; the Berg Balance Scale 20–30 minutes. There was a high correlation between the scores on the Berg Balance Scale and the Static Balance Test (r = 0.91). For the Berg Balance Scale, the mean difference between the two raters was 0.13 and the limits of agreement were small (–0.25; 0.51).
Twenty-five individuals aged 50 years and older with medial knee OA and an equal number of healthy controls completed the CB&M and other tests of balance and mobility, including the Berg Balance Scale, the Timed “Up & Go” Test, a test of maximal single-leg stance time, and the 10-Meter Walk Test (self-selected and fast walking speed).

Alghwiri PT, MS,, Susan L. Whitney PT, DPT, PhD, NCS, ATC, FAPTA, in Geriatric Physical Therapy (Third Edition), 2012Berg balance Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was developed by Katherine Berg in 1989 to measure balance ability (static and dynamic) among older The BBS is a qualitative measure that assesses balance via performing functional activities such as reaching, bending, transferring, and standing that incorporates most components of postural control: sitting and transferring safely between chairs; standing with feet apart, feet together, in single-leg stance, and feet in the tandem Romberg position with eyes open or closed; reaching and stooping down to pick something off the floor. Each item is scored along a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 to 4, each grade with well-established criteria. Zero indicates the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function. The total score ranges from 0 to 56. The BBS is reliable (both inter- and intratester) and has concurrent and construct a cutoff score of greater than 45 has been traditionally identified as a useful cutoff to predict falls in those who scored below the cutoff score,97 recent work by Muir and Berg99 suggests an alternative scoring system as well as suggesting that the BBS is more effective in identifying those who will fall more than once than those who have fallen one time only. They suggest a cutoff score of 40 to predict those who will experience multiple falls (positive likelihood ratio of with 95% confidence interval [CI] of to and injurious falls (positive likelihood ratio of with 95% CI of to In the Shumway-Cook et al model for using the BBS to predict the likelihood of falling, a score of 36 or less indicated a nearly 100% chance of falling in the next 6 months in older The BBS is less useful in confirming someone is at low risk of falling. Even subjects who achieve a very high score (53 or 54 of 56) only have a moderate assurance that they are not at risk for a fall in the next few months. The BBS is particularly helpful in determining sitting and standing balance. No measures of gait are directly recorded within the full chapterURL: disabilityLuigi Ferrucci ... Jack M. Guralnik in Practice of Geriatrics (Fourth Edition), 2007Berg Balance Scale (BBS)51The BBS, a commonly used measure of postural control and stability, evaluates performance in 14 tasks, such as standing with feet together, reaching forward, picking up an object from the floor, and turning to look over each shoulder. An individual's stability is rated, using timed or other clearly defined criteria, on a scale from 0 (unable/unsafe) to 4 (completely independent/efficient/safe). The overall BBS score, attained by summing the ratings of the 14 individual test items, can range from 0 to 56 points. There is evidence of the BBS's responsiveness following rehabilitation intervention for frail elders as well as individuals with neuromuscular full chapterURL: Stephens, in Complementary Therapies for Physical Therapy, 2008ExamineThe 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 For Jane, it also is useful to have measures of endurance and mobility to compare pre-intervention and post-intervention performance. For this, gait speed and time/distance before fatigue are used (Table 20-1).In retrospect, several other measures may have been useful to get some more general information about other dimensions of performance. One of the instruments now widely used and approved by the National MS Society is the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI).44 This instrument is a compilation of 10 independently developed and validated measures, which assess fatigue, pain, cognition, and social support, among other areas. Some of these dimensions of life activity also have been suggested to improve as a result of ATM full chapterURL: TestsPaul Ricard, in Acute Care Handbook for Physical Therapists (Fourth Edition), 2014Interpretation of ResultsHigher scores on the BBS indicate greater independence and better ability to In contrast, lower scores indicate a greater fall risk. Prior evidence suggested that a total score of less than 45 predicted that the patient is at risk for However, more recent literature by Katherine Berg discourages the use the score as a dichotomous scale ( determining fall risk based on values being greater than or less than 45 points).10 Rather, the score should be used to represent a continuum of balance, through the use of likelihood Clinical TipIn patients who are over 65 years of age and are dependent in at least one personal activity of daily living, a change of 8 points on the BBS is necessary to demonstrate a genuine change in full chapterURL: of physiotherapy assessment and outcome measuresP Kersten, in Physical Management in Neurological Rehabilitation (Second Edition), 2004BalanceBalance disorders are discussed in Chapter 24. Well-validated measures of balance are the Berg Balance Scale (Berg et al., 1992) and the Functional Reach Test (Duncan et al., 1990). The Berg Balance Scale evaluates the patient's performance on 14 tasks which are common in daily activities. These tasks address the patient's ability to maintain positions of increasing difficulty. The full range of tasks is displayed in Box 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).The Functional Reach Test is shorter to complete, but less comprehensive than the Berg Balance Scale. The therapist will need to mark out a long ruler on a wall at the patient's shoulder height. When the patient stands comfortably, he or she should be asked to lift one arm up at 90° and make a fist (start position). Then the patient is asked to reach forwards as far as possible (finishing position). Functional reach is defined by the distance between the start and finishing position (Duncan et al., 1990).Read full chapterURL: Whitney, ... A. Alghadir, in Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2016The Berg Balance ScaleA commonly utilized examination tool for static and dynamic balance (sitting and standing) is the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (Berg, 1989; Berg et al., 1992). The BBS is a quantitative measure of balance during functional activities. Subjects are asked to reach, bend, transfer from one chair to another, stand with their feet apart, stand with their feet together, stand with their feet in tandem position with eyes open and with eyes closed, reach down, and stoop down to pick something up from the floor (Berg, 1989). 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. The BBS has been shown to be reliable and have construct validity (Wang et al., 2006; Conradsson et al., 2007).When reporting results of the BBS, several different cutoff scores have been suggested. When the test was originally designed, a score of > 45 was considered to be predictive of future falls (Thorbahn and Newton, 1996). However, Muir et al. (2008), in their evaluation of the BBS, felt that the test was a better predictor of multiple fallers. They reported a score of 40 would predict multiple falls as well as falls that were more likely to cause harm to the patient. Prior to Muir's study, Shumway-Cook et al. (1997) reported that, in their study, a score of 36 or less was 100% predictive of a fall within the next 6 months in the geriatric population. The BBS has demonstrated concurrent validity when compared to the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) in persons with vestibular disorders (Whitney et al., 2003).Read full chapterURL: studies in neurological physiotherapyMandy Dunbar, in Clinical Case Studies in Physiotherapy, problem list would you establish for this patient? goals may be appropriate? patient scored 38 on the Berg Balance scale – why might this outcome measure have been selected to complete as part of her assessment? other outcome measures may have been used in your assessment of this lady? treatment options may be available to you in order to address the goals identified? there any other services which you may access to continue treatment for this patient?Read full chapterURL: to prepare for placementLauren Guthrie, in Clinical Case Studies in Physiotherapy, 2009▪Neurological assessment, assessing tone, joint range of movement, sensation, muscle power, posture, functional abilities (sit-to-stand, gait, etc.), balance.▪Awareness of outcome measures: Tinetti, Berg balance scale, motor assessment scale, elderly mobility scale.▪Depending on the type of neurological placement, know about the most likely neurological conditions you will encounter including pathology, signs and symptoms, overview of medical management.

The focus of the chapter is on balance rehabilitation. Re-training of postural alignment and of sensory strategies are key but adaptation of the environment and re-training of cognitive strategies are also helpful in individual cases. Vestibular exercises can also be used.

Kauffman, Benjamin W. Kauffman, in A Comprehensive Guide to Geriatric Rehabilitation (Third Edition), 2014BalanceThe following research supports the use for aquatics to improve balance, which will decrease fall risk in different populations. After 6 weeks of water exercise, subjects with a primary diagnosis of early to mid-stage Parkinson disease, demonstrated a significant improvement on the Berg Balance Scale and Step test (Jacobs et al., 2012). Some of this improvement may be attributed to increased tactile sensation from the water that improved body awareness and position sense. (Jacobs et al., 2012; Sato et al., 2012) After 5–6 weeks of water exercise by individuals in the eighth and ninth decades of life, significant improvements have been shown on balance measurements on the Berg Balance Scale (Douris et al., 2003). A combination of aquatic exercise and patient education produced significant findings in fall prevention in persons with hip osteoarthritis. Statistical analysis included the Berg Balance Scale, 6 minute walk test, 30 second chair stand, ABC questionnaire and the Timed Up and Go (Arnold & Faulkner, 2010).Read full chapterURL:

Waldemar Brola, Małgorzata Fudala, Jan Czernicki Waldemar Brola, Małgorzata Fudala, Jan Czernicki – Prognostic efficacy of Berg Balance Test in assessing the risk of fall in patients after stroke. Fizjoterapia Polska 2009; 9(1); 31-38 Streszczenie Wstęp. Ryzykiem upadku w ciągu pierwszego roku po udarze zagrożonych jest około 40% chorych. Podejmowane są liczne próby znalezienia prostego a jednocześnie czułego testu, który pozwoliłby wyselekcjonować osoby o szczególnie wysokim ryzyku upadku. Celem pracy była ocena ryzyka upadków pacjentów rehabilitowanych po udarze mózgu z zastosowaniem Testu Berg (Berg Balance Scale). Materiał i metody. Badaniem objęto 312 osób leczonych w 2004 roku początkowo w Oddziale Udarowym Szpitala w Końskich, następnie Oddziale Rehabilitacji i zgłaszających się do Poradni Naczyniowej. Okres obserwacji obejmował 12 miesięcy od chwili zachorowania. Każdy chory oceniany był w początkowym okresie rehabilitacji i, w zależności od uzyskanych wyników, kwalifikowany do jednej z 4-ch grup ryzyka. Odnotowywano następnie wszystkie upadki i ich następstwa. Wyniki. W ciągu roku przynajmniej jednego upadku doznało 119 osób (35%), co dla 36 osób (11,5%) skończyło się poważnym urazem. Najwięcej upadków (78 osób) odnotowano w najwyższej IV grupie ryzyka. W tej grupie najcięższe były również następstwa upadków, jak również upadki powtarzały się wielokrotnie. W III grupie ryzyka odnotowano 24 upadki, w grupie I115 upadków, natomiast w grupie I tylko 2 osoby doznały upadku. Wnioski. Test Berg jest prostym, wiarygodnym i czułym narzędziem selekcjonującym pacjentów po udarze mózgu wykazujących największe ryzyko upadku. Objęcie szczególną opieką chorych z najwyższych grup ryzyka może uchronić ich przed poważnymi następstwami upadków oraz poprawić efekty rehabilitacji.

Reference work entryFirst Online: 20 September 2018DOI: 8 Downloads Synonyms 7-item BBS-3P; BBS Description The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a 14-item performance observation measure that assesses balance on a scale from 0 to 4 for each item, yielding a total score range of 0–56, where higher scores indicate better balance. The BBS tests both static and dynamic balance with items meant to mimic balance challenges encountered in daily life. Historical Background In 1989, Berg developed the BBS to fill the need for a quantitative balance assessment tool to screen older adults for fall risk. The BBS has subsequently become the best known clinical balance instrument. Shorter versions of the BBS, such as the seven-item BBS-3P (which also has a condensed rating scale), have also been developed and validated. Psychometric Data The high reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the BBS, including predictive validity for fall risk, are well documented in the literature. Some authors initially dichotomized the scale, using the threshold value <45 points as an... References and ReadingsAlzayer, L., Beninato, M., & Portney, L. G. (2009).
