Brief-BESTest scores were significantly
correlated with scores on the
Mini-BESTest and BESTest (r.94,
P.001, and r.95, P.001, respectively).
Each item score on the Brief-
BESTest correlated with its respective
section score on the full BESTest
(all P.0001). The biomechanical
constraints (r.61) and stability limits/
verticality (r.69) sections of the
Brief-BESTest demonstrated the lowest
correlations with their respective
sections of the BESTest. The highest
correlations between the Brief-
BESTest and BESTest sections were
for anticipatory postural adjustments
(r.89) and postural responses (r
.91), while sensory orientation (r
.78) and stability in gait (r.78) were
slightly less correlated.
