score of 10.
7.2 What if someone's balance score is different every time
they take the test?
•
It is not unusual for balance to change from day to day, or even
throughout a single day. Remember that many factors influence
balance, and those are always changing. Refer to the ZIBRIO
clinical counseling materials to understand why a person may
have scored the way they did today.
•
Some people's balance scores will fluctuate by as many as 4
points from day to day. For these users, it may be most useful
to pay attention to the fall risk category/color rather than the
number. For example, if their score fluctuates between 4 and 6,
they are staying in the yellow category.
