    Standing balance exercises should first be done on the ground with the patient demonstrating basic balance skills before performing exercises on an unstable service.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because it is important for a patient to have a good foundation of basic balance skills before attempting more challenging exercises on an unstable surface. By starting with exercises on the ground, the patient can develop their balance and stability before progressing to more advanced exercises. This approach helps to prevent injuries and ensures that the patient is properly prepared for the demands of exercises on an unstable surface.

    The BOSU is unique in that both sides can be used in balance training.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The BOSU is a versatile piece of equipment used for balance training. It is unique because both sides of the BOSU can be utilized during training sessions. One side has a flat platform, similar to a regular balance board, while the other side is a dome-shaped surface that adds an extra challenge to exercises. This dual-sided feature allows users to switch between different difficulty levels and target various muscle groups. Therefore, the statement that both sides of the BOSU can be used in balance training is true.
