What populations is the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) used for?
Stroke, Parkinson’s, and older adults.
What is the score range for the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and what do lower scores indicate?
0-56; lower scores indicate higher fall risk

Postural stability during various walking tasks.
What populations is the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) used for?
Vestibular disorders, stroke, and Parkinson’s.
What is the score range for the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), and what do lower scores indicate?
A: 0-30; lower scores indicate greater impairment.
What does the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) evaluate?
The ability to modify gait in response to changing demands.
What populations is the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) used for?
A: Vestibular disorders, stroke, and older adults.
What is the score range for the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), and what do higher scores indicate?
A: 0-24; higher scores indicate better performance.
What does the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance (m-CTSIB) measure?
A: Sensory integration in balance.
How is the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance (m-CTSIB) assessed?
A: By standing balance under different visual and surface conditions.
What is the difference between the Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance (CTSIB) and the modified version (m-CTSIB)?
A: The CTSIB includes six sensory conditions, while the m-CTSIB has fewer.
What does the Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance (CTSIB) help identify?
A: Sensory system impairments affecting balance.
What does the Unipedal Stance Test assess?
A: Single-leg balance.
How is the Unipedal Stance Test scored?
A: By recording the time a person maintains balance on one leg.
What does the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) evaluate?
A: Postural stability and balance deficits.
What population is the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) commonly used for?
A: Concussion assessment.
What does the Four-Square Step Test (FSST) assess?
A: Dynamic balance, coordination, and fall risk.
How is the Four-Square Step Test (FSST) scored?
A: By timing how long it takes to step in and out of four squares.
What does the Fukuda Stepping Test identify?
A: Vestibular system impairments.
How is the Fukuda Stepping Test performed?
A: The patient marches in place with eyes closed while measuring rotation.
What does the Functional Reach Test (FRT) evaluate?
A: Dynamic stability by measuring forward reach distance.
What does the High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) assess?
A: High-level mobility skills such as jumping and running.
What population is the High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) designed for?
A: Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
What does the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test measure?
A: Lower limb strength and endurance.
How is the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test scored?
A: By counting repetitions in 30 seconds.
What does the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5xSTS) assess?
A: Functional lower extremity strength and mobility.
How is the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5xSTS) scored?
A: By measuring the time taken to stand five times from a chair.
What does the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) measure?
A: Walking speed over a short distance.
What populations is the 10MWT used for?
A: Stroke, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
How is speed categorized in the 10MWT?
A: Household or community ambulator levels.
What does the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) assess?
A: Endurance and functional capacity.
What populations is the 6MWT used for?
A: Cardiopulmonary conditions, stroke, and MS.
What does the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) measure?
A: The impact of dizziness on daily life.
What does a higher DHI score indicate?
A: More severe dizziness impairment.
What does the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) evaluate?
A: Function and quality of life post-stroke.
What domains does the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) cover?
A: Strength, mobility, hand function, emotion, etc.
: What does the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) assess?
A: Trunk control and coordination in stroke patients.
What does the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS) measure?
A: Postural control in stroke rehabilitation.
What does the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) evaluate?
A: Motor recovery after stroke.
What subscales are included in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA)?
A: Sensory, balance, joint ROM, and pain.
What does the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) assess?
A: Disability level in activities of daily living (ADLs).
Where is the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) commonly used?
A: Rehabilitation settings.
What does the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) evaluate?
A: Upper extremity function post-stroke.
What does the Modified Ashworth Scale measure?
A: Spasticity in patients with neurological conditions.
What does a higher score on the Modified Ashworth Scale indicate?
A: Greater muscle tone.
What is the purpose of the Tardieu Scale?
A: Measures speed-dependent spasticity.
What does the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) assess?
A: Consciousness level in brain injury
What is the score range for the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)?
A: 3-15 (lower scores indicate more severe impairment).
