To improve a patient's dynamic postural control using visual and vestibular inputs, the most appropriate activity for the patient to perform is:
A)Standing on a foam surface with feet apart and eyes open.
B)Marching in place on a firm surface with eyes open.
C)Walking with a narrowed base of support on foam with eyes open.
D)Walking with a narrowed base of support on a firm surface with eyes closed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Walking with a narrowed base of support on foam with eyes open challenges both the visual and vestibular systems, as well as proprioception, by creating an unstable surface (foam) and requiring more precise foot placement (narrowed base of support), thus improving dynamic postural control.
