Document Summary
Older adults who are unable to perform the one-leg stand for at least 5 seconds are at increased risk of falling. Approach 2: tandam stance test: move feet closer to each other. Place one foot in front of the other, heel to toe. Older adults who cannot hold the tandem stance for at least 10 seconds. Com- a concentrating point of the body around which all the particles are evenly isat increased risk of falling distributed. In quiet standing, the com locates in front of s2. The location of com will change when the body moves and can move outside the body. Moving com away from the bos is a challenge to balance. Functional reach test- reach as far as you can forward without taking a step. Center of gravity (cog) is the vertical projection of the com to the ground. Cog is on the ground but lines up with com.
