Brilliant demonstration as trying to decipher from journal articles can be sometimes difficult, especially when looking for intrinsic movement dysfunctions.👍
Interesting examples and tests. I've noticed a lot of balancing issues come from having weak or unbalanced hips, deep core muscle weakness and foot and calf muscle weakness. It's good to have strong mind/body connections and strengthen these muscles along with any others that might be of concern for excellent balance. I have collapsed arches myself in both of my feet and I believe strengthening my calf muscles and foot and ankle will do the trick along with the others I mentioned as well.
I did these for the first time while in PT. I had 80% of my posterior horn removed and have a partial ACL tear that was not addressed. I’m 9 weeks out from surgery and find this exercise very very hard to do. I trust and pray that doing this exercise will help me and not damage the knee.
Standing on one leg will certainly not damage your knee. We'd advise you to seek a good local physio who can help with a tailor-made rehab program!
Love your videos. They are concise. One suggestion - eliminate the sudden loud obnoxious sound at the intro of the videos - they serve no truly necessary useful purpose, are a sudden unpleasantly intrusive loud noise and waste time.
I have a question.. why if the foot is searching for stability (2:09) might indicate in the stance leg gluteus maximum inhibition?
When talking about the Trendelenburg sign what do you say after you mention the gluteus medius? I noticed that I drop my shoulder or stick out my hip to balance. My foot also moves a lot. The knee of the weaker leg turns in unless I point my toe out. My pelvis also feels unstable. I have a hard time getting up from a squatting position
Hi could you tell me soap note for ot/pt for stroke cases
very helpful! keep up the great vids guys, thanks!
We´ll do our best! Thanks for your compliment!
Good to see that a typical person was chosen as the participant for this assessment. So often a physically very fit individual who's obviously spent years in the gym is chosen other than the target types - unfit and old people with possible problems.
Where do you live? The guy in this video looks buff to me and is in no way representative of the typical Alabaman.
well done!
What is my stance hip is excessively higher than the other leg? Does that mean adductor weakness?
I had my posterior tibial tendon reconstructed, two months out and this still hurts 😓
Great video! Any suggestions on how to strengthen the glute medius?
+Y Fish side lying abduction, lateral step ups,... we will post a video about this soon
Good info. Thanks
ESP rules!
I studied there as well, graduated in 2008..
I can't do 10 reps of pistol squat (squat on 1 leg) in proper form, but balance on on leg is quite hard, especially when i close both 2 eyes. After trying to engage my core i can do it with ease. The question is that if i'm cheating if i engage my core.
Thanks!
Where did you get the 20 second an 40 second break point? Is it on a specific article that says that?
reference in the video description, but the link seems to be broken
This is great, very detailed. Thank you for making this accessible.
Are you a PT? Physiatrist?
On a side note, an option that has helped me put on shoes (outside of assessment) is to 1.engage core, 2. rest my back or lay arm against the wall if needed, 3 lift my leg so that it makes a figure 4. This way, I can I minimize back flexion. An OT taught me
If you don’t mind, what kind of exercise & diet routines do you follow? Do you have a favorite full range of core exercise?
You can see part of our exercise and diet in our VLOG that we did as 100.000 subscriber special
What is the sensitivity and specificity for this test?
There is no sensitivity or specificity. These values are always related to a certain gold standard for the diagnosis of a certain pathology
Great but I'm not a doctor. So what to do about the instability..
Great information here, thank you. I don't know, but I'm going to guess that you participated in the Brazilian research study that only recently determined that If a person can’t stand on one leg for 10 seconds, then they are twice as likely to die within 10 years. As a 76-year old who suffers arthritis-related and many other pains, I've also seen my flexibility and balance deteriorate over the past decade or so. I've suffered several falls in my own home and now ... learning about this recent study ... I'm thinking that my demise is just around the corner.
Take any internet doctor with a grain of sand. If they are post on you tube they aren't very good docs.
nooo! You didn't adress whats wrong if you'r stance leg automatically rotates outward(My problem is that when I stand on my right leg my upper body automatically rotates to the left(leg to the right))
Ive been looking so long for the answer of wich musles I have to stretch/strengthen in my case. Does anyone know what I have to do?
If this is a problem is questionnable as everyone is different and asymmetrical.
What it sounds like is that you might want to exercise your external rotators of the right hip a bit.
This is a very good assessment to identify imbalances! I've found that when I stand on left leg with foot pointing straight my torso and pelvis rotates to the right. My left foot is actually outward rotated the most of the time also when I walk. Which muscle should I strength to align it forward and stabilize my torso and pelvis while standing on one leg?
For any personal health or rehab questions we recommend to consult with our partners at yourphysio.online for a remote physiotherapy consultation.
Have you find a solution?
thank you so much is for my baby
Stance leg foot is gripping & lifted foot is fishing for balance. Hips? Glute weakness?
What do you think if people use this test to assess balance ability for people with lower limb amputation?
There are better suited tests (not sure about validity in this postulation) such as Berg Balance Scale or the Tinetti Test

I can stand 5 seconds or less on a single leg w/eyes closed.
Me 45 seconds and I am 45 lol
@@noudialp don't lie troll
@@borba5825 Since writing that comment I have managed to stand for over 2 minutes. If it's really that hard I should make a video of my success lol
@@noudialp the same here
When I do this my foot is constantly moving trying to find stability. I've sprained my ankles a lot in the past could this be why? Idk how to do this without shaking or moving?
Yes, your sprained ankle could be a reason and in your case it might be due to reduced passive (ligamentous) instability and reduced functional (muscles) stability. Doing exercises like single-leg stance will likely benefit you!
I've sprained both ankles at least 2-3 times but never treated them with taping, ice , etc. Seems like the only way I can find any stability is by digging my big toe into the ground, is this okay to do? Just seems like I've done this exercise alot but still shaking. Maybe I need surgery?
We'd recommend you to see a local physio or GP to evaluate your individual situation.
They can judge if you'd benefit from exercise or even surgery.
I am a 72 yo female I am curious how long should I be able to stand on one leg with eyes open, closed? Thank you.
7 to 10 seconds if you are healthy
I have been told if you cannot stand on one leg with eyes closed for more than five seconds you are in serious trouble - what should I do , should I see my doctor ?
Eyes open
@@kosmos4425 I can do it a bit longer with my eyes open but not as long as recommended
@@fitfinlay999 10 seconds?
@@kosmos4425 I can do 20 seconds with my eyes open but less than five seconds with them closed .
@@fitfinlay999 So, according to new research you live morethan 10 years from now. That means you are healthy enough 👍👍
Thank you sir to know the single leg standing test
Aha! I found it
Knowledge!
00:52- 1:04: typical tall ppl problem, too tall for the camera ... :P
sucks when you can't see yourself in the mirror :(
Just to throw this out I broke both of my calcaneus/heal bones November 2020 I drive a semi and tried to get a new job that required me to stand for 30 seconds on one foot I made it to 1 second after 3 weeks of physical therapy I am up to 8 Seconds I am pretty sure after three more weeks I will be up to 30
As long as I like about 45 mins then I gave up it hurt to much.
I can't stand on one leg with eyes closed. Eyes open, no problem.
Why do you not speak in language that normal people can understand everybody hasn't and third level education that went over my head thank you thank you
Hello , May I have your email please ? I want to send a video of myself checking this Single leg balance. Would be great if you can give some advice
I do this but my legs move so much
I got TDQ'D at maps for this bullshit I gotta go back and do the balance test over
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
FAIL. sucks... :(
You failed to stand on one leg?
