Four Corners

Here's our first video (so please don't be harsh)!  By popular demand I am demonstrating the "4 Corners" exercise. 

Four corners is an advanced balance exercise and should be performed under proper supervision.  The patient will begin by balancing on a single leg.  Then, with good body mechanics, they will attempt to touch the floor in front of them with their non-weight bearing foot.  They will proceed to stand up and then squat again to tap the floor to their right, if standing on their left leg.  They then tap the floor behind them and finally to the left.  The patient must remember and be reminded to look staight ahead and not at the floor.  The dificulty level can be increased or decreased with the bands attached to the Shuttle Balance.  You can also change difficulty levels by allowing them to use their hands or by having them shut their eyes. 



If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.  As we put more videos up, I promise the quality will increse as well!!  Stay tuned for more....
