sleep can make you tired, and can lower your balance score by
multiple points. If you are fatigued from a hard exercise session,
this will also lower your balance score. Try answering the
questions in the balance profile section of the ZIBRIO Balance
Coach app to understand what lifestyle factors may be affecting
your balance score. View your balance plan to get personalized
ideas of how to improve your balance.
• Remember that a score of “10” represents perfect balance, for
example, an Olympic gymnast on a gold medal day might score
a 10.
9.2 What if my score is different every time I take the test?
• Like measuring weight, it can be helpful to measure your
balance at the same time of day in order to better understand
your personal balance trend over time.
• It is not unusual for your balance to change from day to
day, or even throughout a single day. Remember that many
factors influence balance, and those are always changing. Try
answering the questions in the balance profile section of the
ZIBRIO Balance Coach app to understand what lifestyle factors
may be affecting your balance score at a given time.
• Some people’s balance scores will fluctuate by as many as 4
points from day to day. For these users, it may be most useful
to pay attention to the fall risk category/color rather than the
number. For example, if your score fluctuates between 4 and 6,
you are staying in the yellow category.
9.3 How often should I measure my balance?
• You can measure your balance as frequently as you wish, some
people prefer to have a daily check-in on their balance while
others check once a week or so.
