Background: Validation of an instrument consist of three main types: content, criterion and construct. Content validity needs to be determined in order for an instrument to be acceptable for use, validity establishes the fact that an instrument measures exactly what it proposes to measure. The Return-to-work assessment scale (RAS) was developed to measure three aspects of return to work: (Personal factors and/or issues, work issues and contextual factors) in 2021.

Aims: This review sought to determine the extent to which balance screening tests in dance medicine are representative of dance movements and to determine if such tests can be used to empirically track the effectiveness of balance-related injury rehabilitations in dancers.

Methods: A five-step scoping review method was used. Multiple databases and reference lists of identified studies were searched to obtain original research published between 2000 and 2020 that described the balance screening tests used for data collection.
