i am looking for some evidence for the timed unsupported steady stand test, i was wondering if anybody knows any good articles or has any? im doing some service improvement work and we are light on evidence for why we are using some of these falls predictors so wondered if anyon had any good articles or knows where to locate some.
many thanks
Hi,
am not quite sure about this, but you might need to go back to the original Berg articles.
