1 Jpn J Rehabil Med 2014 ; : Balance Evaluation Systems Test BESTest 1, 2 3, 4, Validation of the Japanese Version of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test BESTest Eri OTAKA, 1, 2 Yohei OTAKA, 3, 4, 5 Mitsuo MORITA, 3 Akimasa YOKOYAMA, 4 Takaharu KONDO, 2 Meigen LIU 5 Abstract Objective : The Balance Evaluation Systems Test BESTest is a new balance assessment set based on systems theory. The purpose was to examine the validity of the Japanese version of the BESTest J-BESTest that we translated. Methods : The J-BESTest was produced using a translation and back translation method referenced from a guideline proposed by Guillemin et al. We tested 20 patients with balance dysfunction due to various diseases and 5 healthy persons with the J-BESTest, the Berg Balance Scale BBS, the Falls Efficacy Scale-International FES-I and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale ABC Scale. We assessed the concurrent validity of the J-BESTest by comparing it with the other measures using Spearman s correlation method. Furthermore, we compared the ability of the J-BESTest to discriminate balance dysfunction with that of the BBS using receiver operating characteristic ROC analyses. Results : The J-BESTest was highly correlated with BBS r 0.84, p 0.01, FES-I r 0.61, p 0.01 and ABC Scale r 0.63, p The distribution of the BBS score was more skewed compared with the J-BESTest and had a ceiling effect 6 participants had perfect scores with BBS versus none with the J-BESTest. The area under the ROC curve AUC of the J-BESTest was significantly larger than that of BBS BBS 0.75, 95 confidence interval versus J-BESTest 0.94, 95 confidence interval , p Conclusion : The J-BESTest was suggested as a clinically useful tool, with good concurrent validity and better sensitivity and specificity than BBS, to identify people with mild balance dysfunction.
