Balance Evaluation Systems Test

The Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) is a comprehensive assessment designed to analyze different systems that contribute to balance, such as sensory input, muscle control, and biomechanics. It involves a series of tasks and tests that evaluate how well these systems work together to maintain stability during activities like standing and walking. By identifying specific areas of weakness or imbalance, clinicians can develop targeted treatment plans to improve balance and reduce fall risk, especially in individuals with neurological or physical impairments.
