Objective
[edit | edit source]

The Balance Outcome Measure for Elder Rehabilitation (BOOMER) was developed to assist in clinical practice to quantify standing balance.[1] The combination of a variety of single item outcome measures make the BOOMER a highly feasible and applicable tool that is both time and resource efficient.[1]


The BOOMER consists of the following four tests;

  • Timed static stance feet together eyes closed
  • Functional reach
  • Step test
  • Timed up and go (TUG)

Intended Population
[edit | edit source]

Older adults with deficiencies in standing balance.[2]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]


Results[edit | edit source]

An individual's performance on each measure will be converted to a 5-point ordinal scale (0 - 4). The scale ranges from 0 (unable to perform the test (or 0 on FR)) to 4 (excellent) with a maximum score of 16.[2]
