SEMI-TANDEM STANCE BALANCE EXERCISE

SEMI-TANDEM STANCE BALANCE EXERCISE TECHNIQUE

• Standing next to a chair for safety and stability reasons.

• Place one foot in front of the other foot, with the big toe of the back foot in the groove of the front foot.

• Hold this position for as long as directed and if unable keep track of your time.

• When you have completed the set time, change feet.

• If you are feeling quite unsteady with this exercise you can use two chairs with one on either side of you.

• To make this exercise more challenging you can close your eyes and practice holding for the set time.

• You can also try this exercise with an unstable surface such as a cushion.

• Or you can add a task, such as bouncing a ball.
