Tests and Measures: Adult: 2012 Do not copy without permission of Teresa Steffen BBS Page 1 Type of Test: Time to administer: 15 – 20 minutes if all equipment prepared Clinical Comments: With practice, this test can be done quickly. Keep blank scoring sheets & necessary equipment readily available in the clinic. If a patient cannot complete all of the items, it is still worth doing as it provides good measure of change over time.
