Résumé
The Balance Evaluation System Test (BESTest) and the Mini-BESTest were developed to assess the complementary systems that contribute to balance function. These tests include functional tasks involving several high-level exercises to assess the balance function, which may be even more difficult in case of frailty. The Frail'BESTest has been developed to make it possible to include frail older adults in systemic assessment. In this first paper, the objective is to present the Frail'BESTest and to describe the usefulness and complementarity of each system and to test the inter-rater reliability of the score measurements in two health centers.
