Purpose: To establish the concurrent validity of Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) with the measures of Computerized Posturography Methods: Typically developing children between the age group of 3 to 8 years and children with balance impairment were tested Results: The total numbers of subjects included in study were 47, mean score on PBS was 50.21+ 4.07. Out of seven items performed on Computerized Posturography six items correlated significantly and only reaching forward with outstretched hand did not correlate significantly. Also Velocity Moment of Computerized Posturography correlated significantly with Centre of Sway in Anterior-Posterior and in Medial-Lateral direction. Maximum correlation was present for standing with feet together (0.902) in A-P direction and for standing unsupported (0.936) in ML direction. Conclusion: Concurrent validity sub items of Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) with measures of Computerized Posturography is fair to good
