Özet
Balance is a fundamental skill that enables the performance of daily living activities. Balance skills are critical at every stage, from a baby learning to sit to an elderly person preventing falls. Maintaining balance control is related to three sensory systems: the vestibular, visual and somatosensory systems. These systems change and develop over time, from infancy to adulthood. As a result of this change, postural control becomes more stable and reaches adult levels. However, postural control is not regulated solely by sensory inputs. Many factors, such as motor responses, adaptive skills and cognitive status, also contribute to this process. Childhood is a critical period in which motor skills develop rapidly and the balance system begins to mature. Balance functions directly affect a child's interaction with their environment, safe movement and healthy neuromotor development. Detailed knowledge of the developmental stages of balance functions in childhood is critical for early detection of any unusual conditions. Accordingly, this chapter will discuss the development of balance functions and the importance of balance disorders in childhood.
