Gait and Balance Training
There are a variety of different reasons for loss of balance or a disturbance in gait. In order to execute a normal gait pattern one must possess adequate strength, range of motion, sensation, coordination, and balance. With this the patient must also have the ability to adapt to various environment such as uneven surfaces, loss of vision, and obstacles.
Balance training consists of exercises with the goal of restoring the ability to maintain one's center of gravity over the base of support, whether the base of support is narrow or broad.
