Balance Testing

Balance testing assesses a person’s ability to maintain their stability and control their body's position, often while standing or moving in specific ways. It helps identify issues related to coordination, strength, sensory input (such as vision or inner ear function), and neurological health. Clinicians use balance tests to evaluate fall risk, diagnose conditions affecting balance, or monitor recovery from injury. These tests can range from simple observations to more structured assessments, like standing on one leg or using specialized equipment, providing valuable information about overall stability and body awareness.
