The BBS is used to measure a subject’s ability to maintain balance while doing functional tasks. It assesses the static and dynamic balances by using usual tasks such as reach, standing position and transferences. The test includes 14 items that are common in everyday life. Each item of the BBS is rated on a five-point scale. For the fall risk test, subjects were tested on the BBS using the fall risk test protocol in order to evaluate the efficacy of the balance training intervention. In the fall risk test, the platform is unstable and subjects’ sway is used to calculate the fall risk index. According to the standard software configuration, 2 trials of 20 seconds each at a stability level of 8 were calculated with 10 seconds rest between trials. Fluctuations around the zero point, established prior to testing when the platform is stable, are presented as the findings of this test. For the Postural Stability test, 3 20-second trials were conducted with one minute intervals between them. The platform is fixed and subjects’ sway is used to calculate the overall stability index (OSI). The BBS software sampled the deviations in the anterior–posterior (AP) and medial–lateral (ML) directions at a rate of 20 Hz and calculated the AP index (API), ML index (MLI) and OSI during a given task. These indices were calculated using the degree of oscillation of the platform, in which low values indicated that the individual had good stability. For each mode, the average of three tests was considered the subject index.
