RESUMEN
@#Objective To develop the Chinese version of mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (mini-BESTest) and evaluate its reliability. Methods Chinese version of mini-BESTest was developed following the process of translation, reverse translation, cultural adaptation and pre-experiment. 61 Chinese patients with stroke were tested with it by 2 testers, and 30 patients in them were tested again in 48 h. The inter-class coefficient (ICC) of testers and test-retest, and the Cronbach's α among the total score and 4 factors scores were calculated. Results The ICC of testers of 4 factors were 0.856- 0.978 (P<0.01), ICC of test- retest were 0.795- 0.951 (P<0.01). The Cronbach's α were 0.794-0.905 (P<0.01). Conclusion The Chinese version of mini-BEStest is reliable for patients with stroke.
