Berg Balance Scale

The Berg Balance Scale is a commonly used assessment tool designed to evaluate a person's balance and stability. It consists of a series of tasks, such as standing up from a chair or reaching forward, that measure how well an individual can maintain their balance under different conditions. Each task is scored, helping healthcare professionals identify balance issues, predict fall risk, and monitor progress in rehabilitation. It is especially useful for older adults and those with conditions affecting mobility, as good balance is crucial for maintaining independence and preventing falls.
