Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) is a measure specifically designed to evaluate balance control during gait in people with vestibular disorders. It consists of 10 tasks that assess different aspects of gait, such as changing directions, walking with narrow base of support, walking with eyes closed, and stair negotiation. The FGA has been found to be valid and reliable in assessing gait and balance in patients with vestibular disorders. The other options, while useful measures of mobility and balance, are not specific to assessing balance control during gait in people with vestibular disorders.
