Balance Issues & Fall Prevention
Strong balance is trainable — at any age.
Balance problems can come from vestibular dysfunction, leg weakness, sensory loss, or central nervous system contributions. Comprehensive balance assessment identifies the specific deficits, and targeted training reduces fall risk substantially even in older patients.
Understanding
What is Balance Issues?
Balance is a coordinated system involving inner ear, vision, sensation, and muscle response. Decline in any component contributes to fall risk. Targeted training of the affected components is highly effective.
