Clinical Balance Assessment

Clinical balance assessment is a process used by healthcare professionals to evaluate how well a person can maintain stability and control while standing, sitting, or moving. It helps identify balance problems that could lead to falls or injury. The assessment involves observing and testing specific movements, reactions, and coordination. It may include simple tests like standing on one foot or walking heel-to-toe. Results guide treatment plans to improve strength, coordination, and confidence, ultimately enhancing safety and daily functioning.
