Introduction[edit | edit source]
Balance refers to an individuals ability to maintain their line of gravity within their Base of support (BOS). Balance can be both static and dynamic, both of which will be discussed here.
Balance systems[edit | edit source]
The following systems all provide feedback in some form or another to contribute to a persons sense of balance:
- Vestibulocochlear
- Proprioceptive

Several outcome measures for assessing balance exist, the Berg balance scale being one of the more commonly used tools. It allows a therapist to progressively score a patients ability to balance throughout a series of tasks.
