Berg Balance Scale (BBS)<br />

�<br />

�<br />

�<br />

<strong>The</strong> BBS measures balance in older adults <strong>and</strong><br />

stroke survivors<br />

In this 14-item scale, patients must maintain<br />

positions <strong>and</strong> complete moving tasks of varying<br />

difficulty. In most items, patients must maintain<br />

a given position for a specified time.<br />

41-56 on the BBS represents good balance.<br />
