Balance with Navisess

Balance is a crucial aspect of functioning well in both the workplace and daily activities. It plays a significant role in daily activities such as walking, bending, lifting, and reaching. A person with poor balance may struggle with these basic movements, leading to an increased risk of falls, injuries, and overall decreased quality of life. On the other hand, someone with good balance can move confidently and fluidly, which can improve overall coordination, strength, and endurance.


A lack of balance can be caused by a variety of factors, including weak muscles, poor posture, and underlying health conditions. Thankfully, balance can be improved through work hardening/conditioning programs as well as regular exercise.


In occupational functional testing, balance testing is often used to determine an individual's readiness to return to work or daily activity following an injury or illness. By assessing balance, healthcare providers can gauge whether an individual has the physical capabilities necessary to safely perform their job duties without putting themselves or others at risk. This information is crucial in developing a customized rehabilitation plan that addresses any deficits in balance and helps the individual regain their full functionality.


With regular balance assessments healthcare providers can track improvements, identify any lingering deficits, and adjust rehabilitation plans accordingly. This proactive approach helps prevent re-injury and supports a successful transition back to work or daily activities.


By prioritizing and improving balance through physical exercises, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and performance in all areas of life. See how Navisess incorporates balance measures into our assessments.
