However, not all athletes, including dancers, have access to baseline testing. When baseline examinations were not performed, clinicians consult normative values.

An independent-samples t test also demonstrated a difference in modified Balance Error Scoring System scores between female (2.95 \u00b1 3.1 errors) and male (3.8 \u00b1 3.1 errors) dancers (P = .02).
