The Berg Balance Test (BBT) is a standardized clinical assessment tool used to evaluate a patient’s static and dynamic balance. Developed by Kathleen Berg and colleagues in 1989, the test provides a comprehensive measure of an individual’s balance abilities by assessing their ability to maintain equilibrium in various standing and dynamic positions.
The BBT is widely used in clinical settings to assess balance impairments in individuals with neurological disorders, musculoskeletal injuries, and vestibular dysfunctions. It is also commonly employed in research studies to investigate the effects of interventions aimed at improving balance and reducing fall risk.
