Functional Balance Test

The Functional Balance Test is an assessment that measures a person's ability to maintain stability and coordination during specific movements or positions. It helps identify balance issues that could increase the risk of falls or injury. The test typically involves tasks like standing on one leg, walking in a straight line, or shifting weight between limbs. By observing how well someone performs these activities, healthcare professionals can determine their balance capacity and develop appropriate strategies for improvement or injury prevention. It’s a useful tool for assessing functional movement and overall stability in daily life.
