Single-Leg Stance Progression
Single-leg stance progression trains hip and ankle stability from supported short holds to longer unsupported stands—core practice for senior balance.
Single-leg stance progression builds standing balance from two-leg holds to thirty-second single-leg stands with light fingertip support, then without support and with head turns. It trains hip and ankle stabilizers used when gait narrows or surfaces are uneven.
Practice near a wall, progress one variable at a time, and stop if dizziness or pain appears.
Common questions
-
How often should seniors practice single-leg stands?
Daily short bouts—two to three sets per leg near support—beat occasional long sessions. Add head turns or soft surfaces only after thirty-second holds feel steady.
