Balance Exercises To Be Safe On Curbs

As you can see in the video, going up and down curbs involves both static and dynamic balance. We must be able to stand on one leg ( static balance) while moving the other leg (dynamic balance) to ascend and descend curbs without falling. Static and dynamic balance are key concepts for improving balance. Daily balance exercises must include standing on one foot to improve static balance. Also, dynamic balance exercises like tandem walking need to be practiced everyday. Additionally, while moving up and down curbs, we must concentrate on the sense of touch between our feet and the ground to keep our balance point centered and to prevent falling.
