STANDING BALANCE

20-69 Years



SCRIPTS: MRT FOR STANDING BALANCE

Health technician: Wand the participant’s bracelet for this exam and say:

Now we are going to check the things that keep you balanced when standing. First, I need to ask you some questions, then I’ll explain the test.

(See Page 48: Fall Safety Exclusion and Protocol Questions for MRT; Neck Safety Exclusion Questions for MRT). If responding “YES” to any of Neck Safety Exclusion Question they will be excluded from part 5 of MRT.



Health technician: If participant reports a neck problem during the safety exclusion questions, s/he is excluded from the 5th part of the MRT. The computer skips him/her out of the 5th part of the MRT.



Health technician: If participant is NOT excluded, say:

First I’m going to show you what I want you to try, so please stay seated and watch. You’re going to stand like this with your arms crossed and your feet together.



for up to 30 seconds.

(DEMONSTRATE CORRECT STANCE).

You may do this several times in different ways, for example, with your eyes open or your eyes closed.



I will be standing right here in case you lose your balance. I am going to put this safety belt around your waist (SHOW THE BELT) to help me steady you if you get off balance.



The whole test will take several minutes. Do you have any questions?



Health technician: Do not let participant stand in test position while you explain the condition- let them relax. Verify that the computer is ready to start Condition 1. When ready to start, say:



Stand on the stickers facing me. Once we start the test, do not talk. Cross your arms. Put your feet together. Look at the mark on the wall.



Health technician: As soon as the participant is ready for Condition 1 test, start the timer, and say to the participant:

Begin.



Health technician: At the end of the 15 seconds or if the participant is unable to maintain their balance, make sure that the participant is steady, and say:

Stop. You can relax.



If the participant was unable to maintain the stance for 15 seconds, say:

Can we try that again?



If the participant was able to maintain the stance for at least 15 seconds for one of the two trials, move on to Condition 2. Say to the participant:

This time we’ll do the same thing, but with your eyes closed.



Health technician: Make sure that the participant is positioned correctly (as done in the first test). Verify that the computer is ready to start Condition 2. Then tell the participant:

Ready? Cross your arms. Put your feet together.

When you close your eyes, we’ll start.



At the end of the 15 seconds or if the participant is unable to maintain their balance, make sure the participant is steadied and say:

Open your eyes and relax.



If the participant was unable to maintain the stance for 15 seconds, say:

Can we try that again?



If the participant was able to maintain the stance for at least 15 seconds for one of the two trials, move on to Condition 3.

Health technician: Show the participant the foam pad and say:

This time you’ll be doing the same thing but standing on this foam and looking at the mark on the wall.

Ready? Step up on the foam. Cross your arms. Put your feet together. Look at the mark.

Begin.



After 30 seconds or if participant is unable to maintain their balance, verify participant is steady and say: Step down.



If the participant was unable to maintain the stance for 30 seconds, say:

Can we try that again?



Switch to the other foam pad for this trial to allow the first pad to decompress fully.

If the participant was able to maintain the stance for at least 20 seconds for one of the two trials, move on to Condition 4.

Health Technician: Verify that computer is ready to start Condition 4. Tell participant:

Next, you’ll do the same thing, but with your eyes closed.

Ready? Step up on the foam. Cross your arms. Put your feet together.

When you close your eyes, we’ll start.



At the end of the 30 seconds or if the participant is unable to maintain their balance, make sure the participant is steady and say:

Open your eyes and step down.



If the participant was unable to maintain the stance for 30 seconds, say:

Can we try that again?



If the participant was able to maintain the stance for at least 20 seconds for one of the two trials, move on to Condition 5

Health technician: Say to the participant:

For the last test, you’ll do the same thing, but this time you’ll be moving your head from side-to-side to the this beat. [TURN ON METRONOME] Watch me. [DEMONSTRATE].



Ready? Step up on the foam. Cross your arms. Put your feet together.

Close your eyes When you start turning your head, we’ll start.



At the end of the 30 seconds or if the participant is unable to maintain their balance, make sure the participant is steady and say: Stop. Open your eyes and step down.



If the participant was unable to maintain the stance for 30 seconds, say:

Can we try that again?

At the end of the second trial or if the participant is unable to maintain their balance, make sure that the participant is steadied, and say:

We’re all done with the balance test. After I remove the belt, please have a seat while I finish recording these results.



Thank you for your hard work!



MEC Questions for Safety Exclusion


Pregnancy exclusion question for entire MRT evaluation:

Women with positive pregnancy tests will not be sent for the MRT.

Regardless, all women will still be asked if they think that they are currently pregnant. This information is generally prefilled from earlier components (namely phlebotomy or DEXA), but if this information is not available, then it will be asked before the MRT

  1. Are you currently pregnant? (women 20-59)


Neck Safety Exclusion Questions Condition 5 of MRT:

The health technician will ask these questions to the participant in the MEC once. If eligible for the MRT it will be asked before this exam.

2) Do you have neck pain now? YES NO

3) Have you ever had surgery on your neck? YES NO

4) Have you ever had a neck problem that lasted more than six weeks?YESNO

5) Can you comfortably move your head 30 degrees to the left and right?YESNO

If responding “Yes” to question 1 or 2 or 3 or “No” to questions 4, then exclude from part 5 of MRT.


Fall Safety Exclusion and Protocol Questions for MRT:

The health technician will ask these questions to the participant the MEC before the MRT as safety exclusion questions. NHANES used these in 2019-2020 for the same purpose.

6) Can you stand on your own? yes no

Help screen: "On your own" means without assistance from another person; without use of a device, such as a cane, walker, or leg brace; and without relying on support from a wall, furniture, etc.

Those who cannot stand unassisted are excluded from the MRT.


7) Do you have any amputations of your legs or feet, other than toes? yes no

Those responding “Yes” to this question are excluded from the MRT.


8) Are you currently wearing a leg brace? yes no

Help screen: This question does not include any orthotic device below the waist, such as extra-depth or orthopedic shoes or orthotic inserts in shoes.

Those responding “Yes” to this question are excluded from the MRT.


9) Do you have an injury or surgery to your foot, leg, or hip that would hinder you from doing a balance Test while standing? yes  no  

Those with a leg brace are excluded from the MRT.


10) How much do you weigh without shoes or clothes?* _____ lbs

If refuse or don’t know, then ask: “Do you weigh less than 300 pounds?” YES NO

Those >315 lbs.(or state weighting more than 300 lbs.) are excluded from the MRT (due to limitations of the foam pad density that they will use when standing.)


11) Have you had a problem during the last 24 hours with dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling as if you are going to pass out or faint? yes no


12) Have you fallen during the past 12 months due to a problem with dizziness or Balance? (By falls or falling, we mean unexpectedly dropping to the floor or ground from a standing, walking or bending position.) yes no

Those saying “Yes” to the last 2 questions combined are excluded from the MRT


13) Are you OK to begin this balance test?” YES NO

Those saying “Yes” will have the test administered.



Protocol

Participants will stand with their feet together and their arms crossed at their waist, holding their elbows (see Figure 1). The technician will attach a safety belt around the participant’s waist. Participants will hold that stance for as long as they can under five separate conditions to a maximum of 15 seconds for condition 1 - 2 and 30 seconds for conditions 3 - 5):

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)



The VOC section is applicable for only those SPs that are subsampled into VOC. To determine if a particular SP is subsampled into VOC, check the mec_sp_subsample. If the SP in question has a record for subsample 1, they are subsampled for VOC and so should get the VOC section.
