Dagens #fsvoversigt:
Normative scores on the Berg Balance Scale decline after age 70 years in
healthy community-dwelling people: a systematic review.
J Physiother. 2014 Jun;60(2):85-9
Authors: Downs S, Marquez J, Chiarelli P
Abstract
QUESTIONS: What is the mean Berg Balance Scale score of healthy elderly people
living in the community and how does it vary with age? How much variability in
Berg Balance Scale scores is present in groups of healthy elderly people and
how does this vary with age?
DESIGN: Systematic review with meta-analysis.
PARTICIPANTS: Any group of healthy community-dwelling people with a mean age of
70 years or greater that has undergone assessment using the Berg Balance Scale.
OUTCOME MEASUREMENT: Mean and standard deviations of Berg Balance Scale scores
within cohorts of elderly people of known mean age.
RESULTS: The search yielded 17 relevant studies contributing data from a total
of 1363 participants. The mean Berg Balance Scale scores ranged from 37 to 55
out of a possible maximum score of 56. The standard deviation of Berg Balance
Scale scores varied from 1.0 to 9.2. Although participants aged around 70 years
had very close to normal Berg Balance Scale scores, there was a significant
decline in balance with age at a rate of 0.7 points on the 56-point Berg
Balance Scale per year. There was also a strong association between increasing
age and increasing variability in balance (R(2) = 0.56, p PMID: 24952835
