Occupational therapy addresses both static and dynamic balance to promote independence, safety, and participation in daily activities. Static balance refers to the ability to maintain stability and control while stationary, such as standing still or sitting upright, while dynamic balance involves maintaining stability and control while moving or changing positions, such as walking, reaching, or transitioning between activities. Both forms of balance are essential for performing activities of daily living, work tasks, and leisure pursuits, and occupational therapists incorporate interventions to improve both static and dynamic balance skills.
