Have you ever caught yourself stumbling over nothing or feeling unsteady when turning quickly? It might be more than just a “bad day.” Your balance test results can reveal a lot about your risk of falling, and you can do a lot to decrease your risk of falling today.
Let’s break down what your results mean and how balance rehabilitation can help you stay strong, confident, and on your feet.
Why Balance Testing Matters
Your balance isn’t just about how steady you feel. It’s controlled by a complex system involving your muscles, joints, eyes, and inner ear—and when any part of that system starts to weaken (like with aging, past injuries, or certain medications), your fall risk increases.
That’s why knowing how to test your balance is so important. You don’t need fancy equipment to get started. We’ve created a free 4-step balance test guide you can do at home:

What Do Balance Test Results Mean?
Most at-home balance tests look at how long you can stand in different positions without wobbling, stepping, or holding onto something. Here’s a quick look at what your results might say:
🔹 Normal Balance
- You can hold each position (feet together, one foot in front of the other, standing on one leg) for at least 10 seconds.
- No swaying, stepping, or using your arms for support.
Your fall risk is low, but you’ll still benefit from keeping your balance sharp with regular movement and strength training.
🔸 Moderate Balance Difficulty
- You can’t hold one or more positions for the full 10 seconds.
- You sway slightly or need to correct yourself with a small step.
Your fall risk is moderate. This means your body might struggle to react quickly in real-world situations, like stepping off a curb or catching yourself if you trip.
🔻 Poor Balance
- You lose your balance quickly, even in basic standing positions.
- You feel unstable when turning, bending, or walking on uneven surfaces.
High fall risk. This is your body’s way of waving a red flag. But don’t panic—there’s still a lot you can do to improve.
What’s Next? Balance Rehabilitation
If your test results weren’t what you hoped, you’re not alone. Many adults over 50 begin to lose balance without even noticing it. That’s where balance rehabilitation comes in.
With the right exercises, you can:
- Rebuild strength in your legs and core
- Improve your reaction time
- Reconnect your brain and body to respond better to movement challenges
- Reduce your chances of falling dramatically
It’s never too early—or too late—to train your balance.
