Figures
Bland-Altman plots of (A) Berg Balance Scale (BBS), (B) Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), (C) Mini-BESTest, and (D) Brief-BESTest between 2 sessions (n=28). The solid line represents the mean difference between sessions 1 and 2, and the dashed lines represent the 95% limits of agreement.
Receiver operating characteristics of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Brief-BESTest) to differentiate between participants with and without a history of falls. The points corresponding to cutoff points are indicated by arrows.
Scatterplots showing the relationship between the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale and (A) the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), (B) the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), (C) the Mini-BESTest, and (D) the Brief-BESTest (N=46).
