    The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) was used to assess balance under 3 testing stances: double leg, single leg (non-dominant leg) and tandem (dominant foot in front of the non-dominant foot in heel-to-toe fashion) on 2 surfaces (ground and foam pad). The total score was the total number of errors across the six 20-second repeated measures.

    The Walking Backwards task (Rückwärts Balancieren) from the Body Coordination Test for Children (Korperkoordinationstest für Kinder) assesses balancing ability. Children are asked to walk backwards on three different balance beams. They start with a forwards practice, after which they have to walk backwards twice.
