Ans:

Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is an easily administered cost-effective objective assessment tool used by clinicians for the evaluation of static postural stability after concussion in many different situations or populations being affected. The problem of such static postural stability can arise from injuries or diseases affecting the vestibular system and/or brain. The examples of such populations or situations includes: Traumatic brain injury, sports related concussion, stroke, parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, blast exposue in military and in some vestibular disorders.

BESS test is well suited in above situations or populations beacuse of:

(i) Normative data

(ii) Content validity

(iii) Minimally clinically important difference

(iv) Test-retest reliability

(v) Inter-rater or intra-rater reliability

(vi) Criterion validity (Predictive/ Concurrent)

(vii) Construct validity (Convergent/ Discriminant)
