Balance and proprioception are crucial for human movement and physical health. Balance refers to the ability to control body position during tasks, whether still or in motion. Proprioception is the body’s ability to sense its position, movement, and actions. It relies on specialized sensory receptors in muscles, tendons, joints, skin, and the inner ear that send information to the brain about body orientation and motion.

Gait and balance problems affect many individuals, significantly impacting their daily lives and overall well-being. These issues can arise from a variety of causes, ranging from neurological disorders to musculoskeletal injuries. Gait refers to the pattern of limb movement while walking, whereas balance involves maintaining the body’s center of gravity while upright. Disruptions in these functions can lead to unsteadiness, falls, and a decreased quality of life.

Proprioception is your body’s ability to sense where it is in space. It’s an important part of staying balanced, in control, and coordinated. Your body has special sensors called proprioceptors that are found in your muscles, tendons, joints, skin, and inner ear. These sensors constantly send information to your brain about how your body is moving, which allows your brain to make small adjustments and move smoothly.
