Balance Training Concepts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Balance? | When the body is in equilibrium and stationary meaning no linear or angular movement. |
| What is dynamic balance? | The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling. |
| Maintenance of balance is an integrated process integrating what? | length tension relationship, optimal force couple relationship, joint dynamics, neuromuscular efficiency using visual, vestibular (inner ear) and proprioceptive inputs. |
| What is synonymous with length tension relationship and force couple relationship? | muscular balance |
| What is synonymous with joint dynamics? | arthrokinematics |
| Why is joint dysfunction such a problem? | It leads to muscle inhibition, joint injury, swelling and altered proprioception |
| Is balance static or dynamic? | Both |
| What is the goal of balance training? | continually increase the clients awareness of his or her limit of stability (or kinesthetic awareness) by creating controlled instability. |
| What are the levels of Balance training? | stabilization, strength, and power |
| How do you regress or progress stabilization? | change the surface, visual condition, and body position. |
| Which phase are these exercises in? Sinble leg balance, single-leg balance reach, single-leg hip internal and external rotation, single-leg lift and chop, single-leg throw and catch? | Balance Stabiliztion |
| Which phase are these exercises in? Single Leg squat, single leg-squat touchdown, single-leg Romanian deadlift, multiplanar step-up to balance, multiplanar lunge to balance. | Balance Strength |
| Which phase are these exercises in? Multiplanar hop with stabilization, multiplanar single-leg hop-up with stabilization, multiplanar single-leg box hop-down with stabiliazition | Balance Power |
