One legged stand test accuracy

One legged stand test accuracy

• A. 75%
• B. 83%
• C. 90%
• D. 99%

Answer: (B)

The One Leg Stand test measures balance and divided attention, two things that tend to be affected by impairment. In typical field use and training materials, its accuracy is about 83%, meaning it correctly identifies impairment in roughly eight out of ten cases under standard conditions. This level of accuracy reflects real-world factors that can influence performance—footwear, surface, fatigue, age, or medical conditions can all affect results. The other percentages are less representative of how the test performs in practice, so 83% is the best estimate among the options.
