Cutoff Points With Associated Sensitivity, Specificity, Likelihood Ratios, Posttest Probabilities, and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Plot for the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), and Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest)a
For all balance tests, 2 cutoff values are reported. The first cutoff value (indicated by asterisk) was chosen to maximize both sensitivity and specificity. The second cutoff value was chosen by maximizing sensitivity and negative likelihood ratio (LR−). Pretest probability for being a faller was 31.3%. CI=confidence interval, LR+=positive likelihood ratio.
