Errors/Scoring

The Bess Test

Admistering the Bess Test

  • Each trial is 20 seconds.
  • Errors/Deviations from proper stance are counted (explained on next slide)
  • Counting of Errors only begins after the individual has assumed proper testing position.
  • Additional notes; Eyes will be closed and shoes off.
  • Sensory Organization Test
  • Head injury/ concussion
  • Evaluates stability (balance)

Note; Any thing over 10 errors will be counted as 10 so the over all test will be scored out of 60. The lower the score the better.

Materials Needed
