Curb Step-Up Balance Drill
Curb step-up balance drills train controlled step-ups and lowers on curbs or bottom stairs—building street-crossing strength with optional hand support.
The curb step-up balance drill practices stepping onto a six-inch curb or bottom stair with hand support optional, controlling the descent—building eccentric leg strength and confidence at street crossings. Progress to slow lowers without hand support only when tandem stands and chair rises are solid.
Avoid icy or wet practice surfaces.
Common questions
-
What height is safe for curb step-ups?
Start at four to six inches with a rail. Increase height only when five controlled reps per leg feel steady without hip hiking or knee collapse inward.
