Chapter 10-Balance Training Concepts

Question 1

A training environment that is as unstable as can safely be controlled by an individual

Answer 1

Controlled instability

Question 2

The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling

Answer 2

Dynamic balance

Question 3

Stresses a client’s limit of stability by training in a multiplanar proprioceptively enriched environment with appropriate progressions and technique

Answer 3

Balance Training

Question 4

Efficient movement requires force reduction, isometric stabilization, and concentric force production

Answer 4

Integrated performance paradigm

Question 5

What are 3 stabilization-balance exercises?

Answer 5

Single-leg balance, single-leg balance reach, single-leg lift and chop

Question 6

What are 3 strength-balance exercises?

Answer 6

Single-leg squat, single-leg Romanian deadlift, step-up to balance

Question 7

What are 3 power-balance exercises?

Answer 7

Multiplanar hop with stabilization, Multiplanar single-leg box hop-hp with stabilization, Multiplanar single-leg box hop-down with stabilization

Question 8

What are 3 variables to progress or regress balance training?

Answer 8

Standing surface, visual condition, body position and movement

Question 9

What are some body position progressions in balance training?

Answer 9

Two-leg stable, single-leg stable, two-legs unstable, single-leg unstable

Question 10

Integrated process requiring optimal muscular balance, joint dynamics, and neuromuscular efficiency using visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs

Answer 10

Postural Equilibrium
