Dynamic posturography
Dynamic posturography is a clinical assessment that measures postural sway and balance reactions while visual and support-surface cues are perturbed, quantifying the sensory and motor contributions to balance.
Four square step test
The four square step test (FSST) is a timed clinical test of dynamic standing balance in which the patient steps over four canes in a cross pattern.
Functional reach test
The functional reach test is a clinical balance assessment that measures the difference between arm's length and maximal forward reach with feet fixed, screening postural stability and fall risk.
Stabilometry
Stabilometry is a clinical assessment method that quantifies postural sway in standing subjects with a force platform, used in evaluating vestibular deficit and fall risk.
Star excursion balance test
The star excursion balance test (SEBT) is a clinical test of dynamic postural control: balancing on one leg while reaching maximally with the other along taped floor lines.
Static posturography
Static posturography, also called stabilometry, is a noninvasive test that measures body sway during quiet standing on a force platform, used to assess balance in vestibular and neurological disorders.
Timed Up and Go test
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test times a person rising from a chair, walking 3 meters, turning, and sitting back down, screening for fall risk in older adults.
Tinetti test
The Tinetti test, also known as the Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), is a clinical assessment scoring balance and gait to estimate fall risk in older adults.
Y-balance test
The Y-balance test is a low-cost field test of dynamic balance in which a person balances on one leg and reaches with the other in three directions.
