Currently at the nursing home that I am at we use the Berg balance scale, plus MMT we have a special exercise class for balance which is on Tues. and Thurs. then we have regular strengthening exercises on M.W.F, after a month of completing the exercise classes we retest with Berg and MMT, this works well for us. I hope it helps you as well!!
