A Bit About the Longevity Summit: How to test your balance, with Kelly Tremblay, PhD, and Karen Stellick

How does standing on one leg connect to brain health and longevity? In this episode of Brain Bytes, Kelly Tremblay talks with physical therapist Karen Stellick about the important relationship between balance, neurological health, mobility, and fall prevention.

They explore the single-leg stance test, how the brain uses vision, the inner ear, and proprioception to maintain balance, and simple ways to safely improve stability at any age.

This episode also examines how to train and improve balance, the connection between neuropathy and balance, and why maintaining balance is an important part of healthy aging.
