Which of the following is not one of the six sections of the BESTest?

• A. Biomechanical constraints
• B. Stability limits
• C. Postural reflexes
• D. Gait stability

Answer: (C)

The BALANCE TEST is organized around six balance-control domains: Biomechanical constraints; Stability limits (and verticality); Anticipatory postural adjustments; Reactive postural control; Sensory orientation; and Gait stability. “Postural reflexes” isn’t listed as its own domain—the automatic responses to perturbations are covered under reactive postural control. So that option isn’t one of the six sections, while the others fit directly into the named domains.
