2.3.2 Balance control
All activities in daily life require good balance control even at rest or during movements such as sitting, standing, walking, jumping and reaching forward. Balance control is a synonym of postural stability which refers to the ability to control the center of mass (COM) within a specific boundary of space during static posture, movement and during undergoing with external force . The balance control requires the coordination of many systems such as musculoskeletal, neurological, vestibular, visual and somatosensory systems. However, the deterioration of these systems associated with the process of aging. Furthermore, chronic diseases are an important factor that affects balance ability in elderly. Balance impairment affects ability to perform activities and increases the probability of fall which is a major health problem in elderly. Therefore, balance assessment is crucial to predict and prevent fall, and enhance ability to be independently of elderly
The assessments of balance ability can be categorized into the two types which is static and dynamic balance assessment.
