DESCRIPTION
A quick look at some of the factors in good balance.TRANSCRIPT
Balance…an overview
Balance refers to control of your body mass
There are factors which influence balance…
Factors that influence balance include:
PostureStability limits
Mobility
Posture must be controlled in motion and while standing
Dynamic postural control while moving
Static postural control when standing
Dynamic postural control
Anticipatory postural control
(anticipate an obstacle)
Reactive postural control
(react quickly without thinking)
Static postural control
Ankle strategy
Hip strategy
Step strategy
Multiple systems of balance
Sensory Systemvision
somatosensory
vestibular
Motor Systemperception/action cycle
Cognitive Systemproblem solving, multi-tasking
