3 Purpose  Examine relationships among age, gender, anthropometrics and dynamic balance

4  Tests and Measures TUG PRT PBS  Anthropometric Characteristics Height Weight Arm Length Foot Length

5 Significance  Information regarding pediatric-specific balance measures  Decision making regarding selection of a dynamic balance test with pediatric population

6 Clinical Application  Examples Selecting a dynamic balance measure for a 5 year old child with mild motor impairments Selecting a dynamic balance measure for a 10 year old child with a non-specific diagnosis who is ambulatory

7 Future Research  PRT  PBS  Comparison of performance PRT vs. FRT PBS vs. BBS  Minimal Clinically Important Difference  Expand current study to include children with different GMFCS levels of CP
