Balance Assessment Tools

Balance Assessment Tools are methods or instruments used to evaluate how well someone can maintain balance while standing, walking, or performing specific movements. These tools can include physical tests, questionnaires, and electronic devices that measure stability and control. They help healthcare professionals identify balance issues, assess risk for falls, and develop personalized rehabilitation plans. Common assessments might involve standing on one leg, walking in a straight line, or using a specialized platform. Ultimately, these tools aim to enhance safety and mobility for individuals, particularly the elderly or those recovering from injuries.
