Balance Assessment

Observe shoulder and hip movement levels throughout the single leg balance movement, noting average movement over the course of the assessment

Measure hip, shoulder, and knee sway from the starting position

Monitor hand position to ensure they stay on the hips rather than being used for balance

Check for forward or lateral leaning during the movement

Assess knee steadiness and ensure no rotation or excessive hip stabilization

Evaluate center of mass stability throughout the movement

Measure hip sway back and forth during the balance assessment

Assess ankle stability to determine if the ankle remains steady

Check for trunk rotation during the movement

Compare left and right side differences with symmetry results

Review the overall stability score based on stability metrics and compensations
