About this study

Balance disorder is a major risk factor for falls. The population that has suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke has balance disorders. Over the last few years the assessment of balance has taken on special importance, carrying out the development, adaptation and validation of various tools that assess it.

The Brief-BESTest has 6 items, it has demonstrated comparable reliability to the Mini-BESTest and potentially superior sensitivity. This version represents all dimensions based on the original BESTest theory.

The purpose is to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Brief-BESTest in stroke patients in order to have a brief tool, appropriate to the clinical environment and to the characteristics and limitations of these patients.
