Balance Training
Functional Balance: Optimising Assessment and Treatment
Presenter: Dominique Birchall, Senior Neurological Physiotherapist
We recognise that therapists new to neuro will be familiar with the theory of balance assessment and training but would benefit from assistance in how to set this up practically. In this module, we provide a practical approach around which factors to consider in a balance assessment and how to use those findings to set up a successful balance training program and treatment session.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Define balance and its various types
- Describe how the visual, somatosensory and vestibular system contribute to balance
- Understand the basic components of a balance assessment
- Identify different treatment approaches for balance
