Professional education and clinical application of balance control and reactive balance training: a cross-sectional national survey of Polish healthcare professionals

Addressing these gaps through structured, hands-on training and institutional support may enhance implementation. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational strategies and broader knowledge translation efforts in underrepresented regions.
