“…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.…”

“…A total of 14 functional balance tests were identified in the literature, assessing either stability, quasi‐mobility, and/or mobility. The psychometrics that were investigated in the literature include reliability, criterion (concurrent) and construct validity (reference values and discriminant validity), and responsiveness.…”

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.

“…Habib et al evaluated the balance abilities in Pakistani children using functional reach test [33]. Deshmukh et al have established normal values for functional and lateral reach in Indian school children [34]. However, reliability of PRT in hearing-impaired children remains to be investigated.…”
