“…A total of 14 functional balance tests were identified that were investigated in children . These measurement tools were categorized as single balance measures or batteries of balance tests, and subsequently organized according to the conceptual framework we defined in the introduction (Table ). Eight single balance measures and six batteries of balance tests were identified.…”

“…The items of both scales test two components of balance control: maintenance and achievement of balance. The BBS and PBS take task constraints into account, meaning the scales assess both static body stability and quasi‐mobility (Table ) . Reference values for PBS are available according to sex and age (2–7y of age with 6mo intervals) .…”

Aim Identifying balance problems are the first step towards monitoring and rehabilitation. Therefore, this paper aims to make an overview of the psychometric properties of the functional balance tests available for children. Method A literature search was performed in PubMED and Web of Science on 8 February 2014 and updated on 6 July 2014. A conceptual framework for functional balance tests was defined, taking balance control components and task constraints into account. The tests were selected for inclusion by consensus of 2‐3 reviewers using the conceptual framework. Results Fourteen tests were investigated in 25 articles and analysed within the conceptual framework. The Timed Up and Go test, Pediatric Balance Scale, and Pediatric Reach Test are well investigated and all show good reliability. Validity remains unclear because of lack of a criterion standard to measure balance control. Interpretation Because of the lack of good methodological studies, strong evidence for the use of one or more functional balance tests in children cannot be provided. Moreover, it is necessary that a criterion standard to measure balance is established.

“…Versão brasileira da escala de Equilíbrio Pediá-trica, adaptada transculturalmente e validada 10 11 avalia o equilíbrio dinâmico, que é definido como a distância máxima possível de atingir, além do comprimento do membro superior, mantendo-se a base de apoio fixa. A fita métrica foi fixada na parede, na altura do processo acrômial do membro superior dominante da criança, com ombro em 90° de flexão (anterior) e abdução (direita e esquerda) 11,12 .…”

original RESUMOObjetivo. Verificar o comprometimento do controle postural em crianças com paralisia cerebral. Método. 64 crianças foram avaliadas e divididas em quatro grupos G1: cinco e seis; G2: sete e oito; G3: nove e dez anos, com desenvolvimento típico, e; G4: cinco a 12 anos, com paralisia cerebral. O controle postural foi avaliado por meio da Escala de Equilíbrio Pediátrica, Teste de Alcance e Plataforma de Força. Resultados. O déficit no controle postural foi identificado no G4, na escala de equilíbrio pediátrica. O G4 obteve 52 pontos, quando comparadas as crianças do G2 (55,5) e G3 (56). No teste de alcance anterior houve diferença para o G4 (19cm) em relação ao G2 (25,5cm). Sobre a plataforma de força, na postura bipodal, a área do centro de pressão do G2 (1,62 cm²) e G3 (1,36 cm²) foi menor que do G4 (4,24 cm²). Conclusão. A criança com paralisia cerebral tem prejuízo no controle postural, na realização de atividades funcionais, mobilidade e área do centro de pressão, e seu desempenho aproximou-se das crianças com desenvolvimento típico na faixa etária entre cinco e seis anos.

ABSTRACTObjective. To assess the impairment of postural control in children with cerebral palsy. Method. 64 children were evaluated and divided into four groups G1: five to six; G2: seven to eight; G3: nine to ten years, with typical development and; G4: five to 12 years, with cerebral palsy. Postural control was evaluated by the Pediatric Balance Scale, Reach Test and Force Platform. Results. The deficit in postural control was identified in the G4, the pediatric balance scale G4 got 52 points, compared the children of the G2 (55.5) and G3 (56) resulted difference; in the above range test G4 (19 cm) and G2 (25.5cm) were different; on the force platform, the bipedal posture, the area of G2 center of pressure (1.62cm²) and G3 (1.36cm²) were lower than the G4 (4.24cm²). Conclusion. Children with cerebral palsy have impairment in postural control during functional activities, mobility and pressure center area, and its performance approached the typically developing children aged between five and six years.
