Notes
The NIH Toolbox Standing Balance Test is a measure developed to assess static standing balance for ages 3-85 years. It involves the participant assuming and maintaining up to five poses for 50 seconds each. The sequence of poses is: eyes open on a solid surface, eyes closed on solid surface, eyes open on foam surface, eyes closed on foam surface, and eyes open in tandem stance on solid surface. Detailed stopping rules are in place to ensure participant safety with these progressively demanding poses. Postural sway is recorded for each pose using an accelerometer that the participant wears at waist level. This test takes approximately seven minutes to administer and is recommended for ages 3-85. This test is part of the NIH Toolbox Motor Domain Balance Measure.
