Gwin Johnson, age 45 was diagnosed with bilateral peripheral neuropathies 6 months ago. She was diagnosed with diabetes type II 10 years ago and has had an increased number of falls over the past month. The PT had the patient stand in a split stance (lunge position) holding a weighted ball then she instructed the patient to reach out side to side with the weighted ball. Using a theraband around the patient’s waist the PT (positioned behind the patient) was able to facilitate what type of balance reaction by moving the theraband?
