This video demonstrates how to perform the Unipedal (One-leg Stance) protocol. This test is an excellent method for determining balance in the adult population. Since unipedal balance is important in proper gait, poor performance on this test indicates a high risk for falls and fractures.
These CSEP guidelines are under constant revision - If you notice any mistakes or out-of-date information, please let me know in the comments so I can update the video accordingly.
