Balance is task-specific... and context-specific!
To improve balance" we need to 👉 practice scaled versions of each movement skill that needs to be improved and then progressively increase the challenge until the client reaches their movement goal
👉 Progressively increasing the challenge includes changing context

Fear of falling changes how we balance — and the vestibular system shows it.
New research by Zaback et al. (J Physiol, 2025) confirms that vestibular-evoked balance responses are amplified by threat, but fade with repeated exposure — mirroring emotional and autonomic adaptation.
This matters clinically. Vestibular responses aren’t fixed. They’re shaped by experience, emotion and environment.
Vesticam IR video goggles help capture subtle eye movements in real time, allowing clinicians to observe these changes — and support evidence-informed decision-making over time.
Thanks to the authors – Martin Zaback, Solenne Villemer, Kyle Missen, J Timothy Inglis and Mark G Carpenter – for a timely and valuable contribution to vestibular research.
