This supplemental app is intended to be used in conjunction with the NIH Toolbox V3 Standing Balance test. The Standing Balance test is available in the separate “NIH Toolbox V3” app.
The Standing Balance test is designed to assess postural sway and to determine participants’ vestibulo-spinal function. Children ages 3-6 are asked to complete the first four poses that are listed below; participants ages 7 years and above are asked to complete all five poses.
The task order is always the same:
• Pose 1: Flat surface, feet together, eyes open
• Pose 2: Flat surface, feet together, eyes closed
• Pose 3: On foam, feet together, eyes open
• Pose 4: On foam, feet together, eyes closed
• Pose 5: Flat surface, tandem stance, eyes open
