to excellent for both the Full-BESTest (Smallest Detectable Change 2% to 6%) and the Mini-BESTest (Smallest Detectable Change 5% to 10%) relative to total test scores. Conclusions/Significance: Both the Full-BESTest and MiniBESTest can discriminate postural control abilities within and between days in school-aged children. The Full-BESTest has slightly better reproducibility and a broader range of items, which suggests it could be the most useful version for treatment planning. A few minor modifications are recommended to improve reproducibility for children. We propose this slightly modified version to be named the Kids-BESTest. Future psychometric research is recommended for specific pediatrics clinical populations.
