Marking a vertical line that starts from What Does My Patient’s Score Mean? Cut-off scores may be used in conjunction with a complete evaluation to interpret the meaning of a patient’s score on the BBS • Non-Specific/Older Adults ¡ Cutoff Score: ≤40 almost 100% fall risk7 ¡ Cutoff Score: ≤50 fall risk8 Considerations: • Assistive devices should not be used when Nov 27, 2013 · Concurrent validity of the Lower Extremity Functional Scale was excellent compared with the Olerud Mo- lander Ankle Score at the short- and medium-term follow-ups (r = 0.80 and 0.87, respectively). The correlation with walking speed and stepping rate on stairs was moderate at the short-term follow-up ( r = 0.61 and 0.63, respectively) but poor WPBiL.
