Modified Berg Balance Scale scoresIn the BBS, a score of 80% (45 po<strong>in</strong>ts) <strong>in</strong>dicates sufficient balance [26]. However, this cut-offvalue cannot simply be applied to the mBBS, as the modifications <strong>in</strong>fluence the cut-off valueand thus render a comparison mean<strong>in</strong>gless. For that reason, we will describe the scores of theparticipants <strong>with</strong>out the cut-off values.ResultsFeasibilityTasks 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8 were completed by all 39 participants; tasks 2, 5 and 12 by 38 participants,tasks 9 and 11 by 37 participants, and tasks 6 and 10 by 36 participants (Table 2). Thirty-six out of39 participants (=92%) completed all tasks. The duration of the test was about 30 m<strong>in</strong>utes.Table 2.

The ICC for the total score <strong>with</strong>out tasks9 and 10 was 0.97 (0.94-0.98), which is very good [35]. Cronbach’s alpha for tasks 1–12 was 0.84[36]. The obta<strong>in</strong>ed proportions of equal scores were greater than or equal to 0.80 <strong>with</strong> Wilson95% CI between 0.60 and 1.00 for tasks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 (Table 3).
