What Are the Benefits of Using BESS in Pediatrics?
The primary benefit of using the BESS in pediatric populations is its ability to provide a quantifiable measure of balance, which can be critical in diagnosing and managing concussions and other balance-related conditions. It helps healthcare providers make informed decisions about a child's readiness to return to activities, thereby reducing the risk of further injury. The test is also non-invasive, quick to administer, and does not require expensive equipment.
