Hinge Stance Foot Tap

Offset hinge stance dynamic balance with band-resisted foot tap utilising colour cue to increase variability.

  • Offset stance in hinge position, dynamic balance with multi directional foot tap.

  • Colour cue = Foot to corresponding colour cone.

  • Environment Constraints: Marker placement (semi-circle), marker distance, resistance to stepping leg, heel raise under stance leg, pace.

  • Task Constraints: Offset hinge position with stance foot half-raised from floor; aim to maintain stance foot position parallel to floor; foot tap/reach to colour marker as directed by cue, return to start position between repetitions.

Exercise Design Notes: Resistance to stepping leg to facilitate stabilisation of stance leg, heel raised off floor on stance foot for increased challenge to dynamic balance and lower limb stabilisation.

Regression/Progression: Range of motion, load, stance surface, add perturbation.
