Fall Risk & Balance Assessment Tool
This calculator helps evaluate a patient's balance through 14 tasks. Ensure patient safety during administration.
The Berg Balance Scale is a clinical test used to measure balance in older adults. It consists of 14 tasks assessing a person's ability to maintain balance during specific movements.
Each task is scored from 0 (unable to perform) to 4 (normal performance), with a total possible score of 56. The lower the score, the higher the risk of falling.
A score of 41–56 suggests low fall risk, 21–40 indicates medium risk, and 0–20 signifies high fall risk. This helps clinicians tailor fall prevention strategies.
This tool is intended for use by physical therapists, geriatricians, and rehab professionals to evaluate and monitor balance in elderly patients.
While the tool itself can be scored online, the tasks should be performed under supervision for safety and accuracy—ideally in a clinical setting.
LDL < 100 mg/dL is considered optimal for cardiovascular health.
