BBS and SARA-bal have moderate to strong criterion and convergent validity and adequate responsiveness to balance changes. Both laboratory-based measures (SOT and LOS) demonstrated a high floor effect. The SOT-COM and MXE-LOS(R) demonstrated moderate to low criterion validity, with only the MXE-LOS(R) displaying adequate responsiveness to balance changes after 6 and 12 months.
