What are the Limitations of the Berg Balance Scale?
While the BBS is a valuable tool, it has some limitations:
Static Nature: The BBS primarily measures static balance and may not fully capture dynamic balance abilities. Ceiling Effect: Some patients may score high on the BBS but still experience balance issues in more challenging environments. Time-Consuming: Administering the full scale can take 15-20 minutes, which may be impractical in some clinical settings.
