Ghent Developmental Balance Test Alexandra De Kegel & Hilde Van Waelvelde Balance is a fundamental component of movement, involving the abi- lity to recover from instability and to avoid instability, to anticipate balance disturbances. Various developmental motor disorders cause poor balance, resulting in difficulties with postural control and distur- bing the development of numerous activities of daily living. To plan interventions for these young children with motor disabilities, a spe- cific measure to evaluate balance is an essential part of the assess- ment. Most of the standardized developmental motor tests encompass balance tasks. However the isolated balance items can not be inter- preted. Therefore, we aim to develop a new assessment tool to eva- luate balance from independent walking to 5 years of age. The Ghent Developmental Balance Test aims at offering a complete developmental series of tasks, reflecting specifically the development of the child’s balance abilities. This test is fit for typically developing children between 18 months and 5 years 11 months or for children with a similar level of balance control.
