👉 Balance is task specific 👈

The difference between recovering from a sideways vs. backwards loss of balance is so different that they absolutely must be:

✅ Treated as separate skills
✅ Assessed individually, and

Great talk from @chrishurst99 discussing the importance of progressive overload and individualised exercise programmes to achieve meaningful benefits in patients with #sarcopenia and #frailty at @AGILECSP’s #BPOP event
