Mini-BESTest had a fair correlation with BBS and FES-I. BESTest had a moderate association with BBS and a strong association with FES-I. There was a significant correlation between total score of the BESTest and the Mini-BESTest (r = 0.65 p < 0.001). BESTest and Mini-BESTest total scores showed an excellent inter-rater agreement. ResultsīESTest and Mini-BESTest showed good internal consistency. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated by comparing the relationship between the BESTest, mini-BESTest, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). The reproducibility between raters was studied with the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. Internal consistency of Spanish BESTest and Mini-BESTest was carried out by obtaining the Cronbach Alpha. Two physiotherapists assessed participants at the same time. We designed a cross-sectional transcultural adaptation and validation study.Ĭonvenience sample of thirty (N-30) adults aged 65 to 89 years old without balance problems were recruited. We aimed to assess the psychometric properties of BESTest and Mini-BESTest in Spanish in community-dwelling elderly people. The Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) and its abbreviated version, the Mini-BESTest are clinical examination of balance impairment, but its psychometric properties have not yet been tested in European Spanish.
