Balance: Normal (4)
No external support, tolerates maximal challenge, wt shift all directions = no risk for falls
Balance: Good (3)
No external support, mod challenges, wt shift with limitations - Minimal risk for falls
Balance: Fair (2)
no external support, tolerates no challenges, can’t wt shift = moderate risk for falls
Balance: Poor (1)
Requires external support/assistance = high risk for falls
Balance: Zero (0)
Requires max assistance
