I still remember when my idea of "balance training" consisted of getting everyone to practice standing on one leg, tandem stand, feet-together-eyes-closed on a foam mat, and standing hip abduction 🤦‍♂️

In 2020 we set up a support group for people who are working or have worked in the #NHS and are living with #Parkinsons. Last night all of us WPC 2026 met for the first time. #amazing

To develop normal ankle-hip-step balance recovery strategies... ...you need to practice exercises that incorporate ankle-hip-step responses (static holds with feet together, heel-toe, or standing on one leg don't achieve this) 16 of 30 #STEPtember

The ability to step to recover from a loss of balance is critical even for those who use their walking frame "at all times" This client population develops abnormal reliance on their hands for balance (so are severely compromised during standing ADLs) 19 of 30 #STEPtember

Exercises to "improve balance" while holding onto a chair do just that: They improve balance that involves upper limb support (but discourage use and development of normal ankle-hip-step balance recovery strategies AND reinforce reliance on upper limbs) 20 of 30 #STEPtember

Developing an integrated ankle-hip-step response to a loss of balance is the foundation of functional mobility: Although it makes for a fun day at work, it makes little sense to prioritise exercises wobbling on boards, tapping balloons, or random surfaces 21 of 30 #STEPtember

This is literally why #NHSfunding for rehabilitation after any sort of critical illness cannot be an after thought. Organ support, drugs & acute care saves lives - access to rehab saves people. Thanks for sharing your journey #rehablegend Source: TikTok @ tinabridge
