Abstract
The Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) is a relatively new balance assessment, commonly used to evaluate balance in community dwelling older adults and individuals with Parkinson's disease. Due to its relatively short administration time, it has been increasingly used in other populations including stroke. However, it is currently unknown how the Mini-BESTest compares with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), in detecting balance deficits in the chronic stroke population. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Mini-BESTest with the BBS in evaluating balance in community dwelling chronic stroke survivors. We also aimed to compare the sensitivity/specificity of both to categorize individuals into slow and fast walkers.
