Balance and Coordination: Postural Control: Maintaining balance on the teeter board requires constant adjustments to maintain upright posture and prevent falls, significantly enhancing postural control. Dynamic Balance: The shifting weight and movement of the board challenge dynamic balance and require rapid adjustments to maintain stability. Coordination: Coordinating movements of the legs, arms, and core with the movement of the board enhances coordination and motor planning. Proprioception: Body Awareness: The constant shifting of weight on the teeter board enhances proprioception, which is the sense of body position and movement in space. Sensory Integration: Navigating the movement of the teeter board integrates sensory information from various sources, including vision, proprioception, and vestibular input, enhancing sensory integration. Core Strength: Core Engagement: Maintaining balance and controlling movement on the teeter board requires significant engagement of core muscles, including abdominal and back muscles. Gross Motor Skills: Leg Strength: Moving and balancing on the teeter board strengthens leg muscles and improves lower extremity strength.
