Hello, everyone; we are here to share the Challenge for the 3rd week of the Steemit Learning Challenge season 27. I am grateful to all the users who participated in the previous season and supported my previous course, and thankful to the Steemit team for this opportunity again. I invite all users to share their unique participation and strive to earn good grades to be selected as the winner of the Steemit Learning Challenge, Season 27, Week 3.

Balance

Balance is the ability of our body to maintain posture and stability in different conditions or positions, whether it is static balance or dynamic balance. These are the 2 types of balance that we maintain in different postures all day.

• Static Balance, it's the type of balance when we are standing still or not moving.
• Dynamic balance is the type of balance that we maintain while moving around.

Coordination

Coordination is the ability to assemble or unite different body parts or multiple body parts to perform difficult movements proficiently. There are 3 main components of coordination, motor control, time and rhythm. Motor control refers to the ability of the body to control movements and maintain posture while moving or staying still. Time refers to coordinating the movements with accuracy. Rhythm is to perform movements in a rhythmic pattern.

Balance and coordination are the 2 main components that we need to work on if any patient is suffering from a risk of falls or falls frequently. Because these are the 2 components that we need in our daily activities, for example, walking, running, stair climbing and maintaining posture while moving.

Pathophysiology

In balance and coordination, various systems of the body are involved, such as the vestibular system, proprioception, visual and the central nervous system. The vestibular system is the system that detects the changes in the position of the head; it is located in the inner ear. Proprioception is the sense of the position of the body, and the sensors are present in muscles, tendons and joints.

In the visual system, our eyes are the organ that provides input, which helps in balance and coordination maintenance. The central nervous system, in which the brain processes the response, and then the above system helps to maintain balance and coordination.

In a patient with balance and coordination impairment, the underlying mechanism is first, which causes the impairment of sensory integration. In balance and coordination, impaired patients have difficulty combining or uniting information or responses from all the systems, like vestibular, proprioceptive and visual systems.

There is also impaired motor control because of muscle weakness and spasticity that affect the balance and coordination. In such patients, there are cognitive disabilities, such as patients suffering from memory issues or a lack of attention, which affect their balance and coordination.
