Balance Examination
A Balance Examination is a clinical assessment used to evaluate a person's ability to maintain stability and control while standing or moving. This examination often involves various tests, such as the Romberg test or Berg Balance Scale, to measure balance under different conditions. It helps identify any issues related to balance that may arise from conditions like vestibular disorders or neurological diseases.
During the examination, healthcare professionals observe the patient's posture, gait, and response to balance challenges. The results can guide treatment plans, including physical therapy or rehabilitation strategies, to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.
