What it means: If you took longer than the average you may be at higher risk of falling. On the single leg stance test, scoring 5 seconds or less automatically places you at risk of injurious falls. Seek help very soon! Other scores that are less than average are still a great reason to be evaluated to determine the cause and make sure you are doing what you can to avoid falling.
