Measures of balance and falls risk prediction in people with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review of psychometric properties.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the psychometric properties of measures of balance and falls risk prediction in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Ovid Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception to August 2019.

Review method

Studies testing psychometric properties of measures of balance and falls risk prediction in PD were included. The four-point COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) assessed quality.

Results

Eighty studies testing 68 outcome measures were reviewed; 43 measures assessed balance, 9 assessed falls risk prediction, and 16 assessed both. The measures with robust psychometric estimation with acceptable properties were the (1) Mini-Balance Evaluat
