Static Sitting Balance
- Normal: Maintain sitting balance against maximum resistance.
- Good: Maintain balance against moderate resistance.

- Fair -: Maintain static balance with upper extremity support.
- Poor +: Maintain with minimal assistance from an individual or chair.
- Poor: Unable to maintain static sitting balance without moderate to maximum support.
Dynamic Sitting Balance
- Normal: Sit unsupported while weight shifting and crossing the midline with maximum ability.
- Good: Sit unsupported, successfully weight shift, and cross midline with moderate ability.
- Good -/Fair+: Sit unsupported and weight shift with minimal ability, crossing midline minimally.
- Fair: Sit unsupported, minimal weight shift ipsilaterally, difficulty crossing midline.
- Fair -: Sit unsupported, reach to the ipsilateral side, unable to weight shift.
- Poor +: Sit supported with minimal assistance and reach to the ipsilateral side, unable to weight shift.
- Poor: Sit supported with moderate assistance, reaching to the front or ipsilateral, unable to weight shift or cross midline.
Static Standing Balance
- Normal: Maintain standing balance against maximum resistance.
- Good: Maintain standing balance against moderate resistance.
- Good -/Fair+: Maintain standing balance against minimal resistance.
