Q
Why do we have different senses of balance?
A
Expert Answer
Balance relies on vestibular system (inner ear), vision, and proprioception. Variation comes from: vestibular sensitivity, visual dependence, ankle stability, core strength, training, age (declines after 40), and conditions like vertigo. Athletes and dancers develop superior balance through training.
