Wobble-Board Dynamics Identify Individual Signatures of Balance Control for Clinical Assessment
Wobble-board assessment isolates a dual-mode balance strategy in which spatial regulation is actively controlled while temporal structure self-organizes. The separation yields actionable targets for metric-guided, progressive training that emphasizes excursion control while monitoring temporal adaptability. Because these metrics complement conventional CoP/CoM measures, they offer a practical bridge from laboratory to clinic-friendly evaluation and feedback. Validation in aging and clinical cohorts and outcomes-focused longitudinal trials will determine their translational value for fall prevention and rehabilitation.
