Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems that include:
sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation)
integration of that sensory input;
and motor output to the eye and body muscles.
Balance exercise:
Regularly challenging our balance will support training of the sensorimotor control system.
For example: our body’s sense of position in space and its sensation of limb and joint movement.
