Guidelines/Instructions
BESS: The test consists of 6 - twenty second tests with three different stances on two different surfaces. I will describe the stances as we go along. Standing on a firm surface with feet side by side (touching), hands on the hips and eyes closed. BESS Modified: he test consists three 20-second tests. For further assessment, the same 3 stances can be performed on a surface of medium density foam (e.g., approximately 50 cm x 40 cm x 6 cm).An error is credited to the subject when any of the following occur: 1) moving the hands off of the iliac crests; 2) opening the eyes; 3) step stumble or fall; 4) abduction or flexion of the hip beyond 30; 5) lifting the forefoot or heel off of the testing surface; 6) remaining out of the proper testing position for greater than 5 seconds. The maximum total number of errors for any single condition is 10.
