Functional balance assessments

Functional balance assessments evaluate a person's ability to maintain stability and control during daily activities, such as standing, walking, or turning. These tests identify balance deficits that could lead to falls or injury, helping healthcare providers develop targeted strategies to improve stability. They often involve observing how well a person can perform specific movements or tasks, sometimes using standardized tools or scoring systems. The goal is to understand how effectively someone can keep their balance in real-life situations, ensuring safety and independence.
