At a glance
Certain practices are commonly discouraged during balance training because they introduce unnecessary fall risk without a clear training benefit, particularly for individuals with a recent fall history. These general precautions reflect widely cited fall-prevention principles and are not a substitute for individualized guidance, particularly for those with a recent fall or significant medical history.

Balance · For individuals with a specific vestibular condition, gaze stabi
For individuals with a specific vestibular condition, gaze stabilization and habituation exercises are often included alongside general balance training, following approaches used in vestibular rehabilitation therapy.

Balance · Practicing challenging balance tasks without support nearby
Attempting an unsupported or advanced balance exercise without a wall, rail, or person nearby is generally discouraged, particularly for those with a recent fall history. Advancing to more challenging balance tasks before confidence and control are established at the current level is generally discouraged, since fear and hesitation can themselves increase fall risk.
Balance · Complete inactivity due to fear of falling
Avoiding all activity out of fear of falling is generally discouraged, since inactivity tends to worsen the strength and balance deficits that contribute to fall risk in the first place. Balance training generally progresses from simple, supported static positions toward unsupported, dynamic, and increasingly unpredictable movement challenges.
