Prioritizing Dual Tasking in Balance Training

The approach to balance training in rehabilitation has shifted significantly, emphasizing the importance of integrating dual tasking earlier in the intervention process. Previously, there was a belief that static balance skills needed to be mastered before introducing dual tasking; however, this perspective has evolved. Current understanding recognizes that individuals often struggle with dual tasking long before they have issues with static balance. By layering in dual tasking from the beginning, clinicians can enhance clients' confidence and overall capacity to navigate their environments, thereby reducing the risk of falls.
