Hello Catherine

Postural control means the ability to keep balance and stay in different positions such as sitting, kneel standing, standing and so on. Rehabilitation therapists try to use different techniques such as vestibularvtraining, musle control and muscle strengthening for postural control training.

Postural control in pediatric physical therapy is the ability of children to maintain balance and stability of the body, both at rest and in movement. It is essential for motor activities such as sitting, walking and moving. Physical therapists work on strengthening muscles, improving coordination, and developing sensory integration, especially in children with developmental delays or conditions such as cerebral palsy. The goal is to improve postural control to facilitate independence and participation in daily activities.
