Development of the sBESS, a Pragmatic Dual-Task Balance Test in Adolescents With Acute Concussion
Dual-task gaze stabilization with tandem stance ("sharpened BESS" [sBESS]) is a new vestibular dual task that is more strongly associated with gold-standard balance performance in concussed adolescents than mBESS. Diagnostic and prognostic accuracy studies are needed to determine the clinical utility of sBESS to inform concussion diagnosis and return to sport decisions.
