Description
How good is your balance and coordination?
Balance isn't just about staying on your feet. Your brain, inner ear, vision, muscles, and nervous system all work together to help you stay stable and coordinated.
In this video, we walk through 4 simple balance and coordination checks:
👣 Romberg Test
🦶 Tandem Romberg Test
👃 Finger-to-Nose Test
🚶 Marching Balance Test
These exercises can help you become more aware of how your body responds when visual input is reduced and your balance system has to work harder.
If you notice significant difficulty, dizziness, unusual drifting, frequent falls, or changes in coordination, consider discussing your symptoms with a qualified healthcare professional.
This video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition. These tests are not a substitute for a professional medical evaluation. Perform balance exercises in a safe environment, preferably with someone nearby, and stop immediately if you feel dizzy, unstable, or unsafe. Do not attempt these tests if you have a condition that makes balance exercises unsafe without first consulting your healthcare provider.
