Objective:The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is widely used for assessing balance ability. However, the number of latent ranks that can be used to assess a subject's stage remains unknown. This study aimed to assess the latent rank as an index of balance ability on the BBS in older adults with hip fractures.

Methods:In this observational study, we collected a total of 475 data records from 252 older adults aged 65 years or older with hip fracture. The latent rank theory determined the rank, while the relationship between each rank, walking ability, and walking aids (e.g., walker, cane, or no walking aid) was examined.

Results:There were five latent ranks in the BBS according to the goodness-of-fit index and information criteria. We found a significant relationship between each rank, walking ability, and walking aids. Independent walking using a walker was possible if the individual scored over rank 3. Meanwhile, independent walking ability on stairs and uneven ground was indicated as rank 5.

Conclusion:In older adults with hip fracture, the BBS was classified into five ranks with distinct characteristics. Therefore, this staging method may be useful in understanding an individual's balance ability and in aiding physical therapists to determine the appropriate assessment.
