The ability to access a standardized assessment tool for balance and functional mobility in a portable document format (PDF) is a common need for clinicians, researchers, and educators in fields like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and geriatrics. This digital format enables convenient storage, distribution, and printing of the evaluation, facilitating its widespread use in diverse clinical and research settings. Example scenarios include a physical therapist downloading the assessment form to administer it to a patient in their home, or a researcher utilizing the digital version for data collection across multiple sites.

Accessibility of this standardized assessment in a digital format offers several benefits. It reduces the administrative burden associated with managing physical copies, allows for efficient electronic record-keeping, and promotes consistency in assessment administration across different practitioners and locations. Historically, standardized assessments were primarily available in paper format, requiring manual scoring and data entry. The transition to digital formats has streamlined the assessment process, improving efficiency and reducing the potential for errors. This evolution has been crucial in advancing the understanding and treatment of balance impairments.
