Single-leg stance with toe taps

An exercise for single leg stability and control.

• stand on one leg, knee may be slightly bent
• maintain good lower extremity alignment (ie: foot stacked well, knee aligned, pelvis neutral or elevated on the lifted-leg side)
• with the lifted leg, tap your foot to a specific area in front, beside or behind the other foot
• repeat as needed
• NOTE: the exercise can be made more difficult by reaching further away from the base of support
