Illustration of the Narrowing Beam Walking Test. Participants attempt to walk along four progressively narrower beam segments with their arms crossed over their chest. If participants moved their arms or stepped off the beam that was considered a “balance failure”, and the distance walked to that point is recorded. Height of each segment is 3.8 cm.
