Pediatric Balance Scale

It can take between 15 to 30 minutes. Since you'll likely assess children with functional balance problems, it might take longer than that.

Since the Pediatric Balance Scale is composed of several balance exercises, there is a risk of falling. Having someone other than yourself who can provide support and immediately catch the child if they show signs of decreasing is essential.

The pilot testing of the scale involved children between the ages of five and fifteen, so fifteen can be your limit. For those older than fifteen, you can use the Berg Balance Scale.
