Objective
[edit | edit source]
The BOOMER consists of the following four tests;
- Timed static stance feet together eyes closed
- Functional reach (FR)
- Step test - Foot placed on top of a 7.5cm step and returned to the ground. Performed as many times as able in 15 sec.
- Timed up and go (TUG) - From a seated position, individual stands, walks 3m, turn 180°, walks 3m back to chair and sits with back resting against the back rest
