Test 1
BESTest (%) 72.3 (9.0) 72.9 (8.2) 73.9 (7.9) 75.0 (9.0) .86 (.77–.92) 3.2 8.9
mBEST 19.0 (3.8) 19.3 (3.1) 19.7 (3.7) 19.8 (3.8) .84 (.73–.90) 1.4 4.0

ICC – Intraclass correlation coefficient, BESTest – Balance Evaluation Systems Test, mBEST – mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test, SEM – standard error of measurement, MDC95 – 95% minimum detectable change, SEM and MDC95 were calculated after combining the groups (fallers and non-fallers).
