If you would like to translate BRC into your language please read the original documents on the development of BRC (References 1-3), the “Guide to BRC translation protocol” below before proceeding.

You MUST also first contact shawn.soh@singaporetech.edu.sg to confirm whether someone else is already doing a translation into your language. We will then register you as doing the translation as well as answer any questions you may have. One condition of doing the translation is that it is made available through this website.

Refer to the link.

Participants should answer items thinking about how they would be able to arrest falls based on their current balance recovery abilities if the scenario has occurred. For example, if they are walking up a flight of steps without railings and lose balance now, how confidence are they to recover their balance to stop the fall.

Often, participants would reply that they would avoid the scenario in ways of being more careful, holding the railing, or avoid the situation. Translators should clarify that the assessment is to evaluate the participants’ belief in their ability to recover their balance when the situation occurs. Participants should provide a reply based on their judgement of their own reactive balance recovery abilities.

Some translators may find it helpful to clarify in the instructions about what is meant by “highly certain can do”. In some languages it is better to translate this term as “complete confidence”.
