Neuro Navigators Episode 17: Reactive Postural Control in OT/PT: Is It Time to Rethink Our Approach to Balance?

Dr. Nora Fritz, PhD, PT, DPT, NCS, an expert in postural control and fall risk in people with multiple sclerosis, joins host J.J. Mowder-Tinney for a deep dive into reactive balance—why it matters, how it’s measured, and what we can do about it. J.J. and Nora explore the latest research around sensory reweighting, backward walking, and compensatory stepping, connecting the science to real-world clinical applications across patient populations. Together, they discuss strategies to support your clients’ safety and confidence through tailored interventions and meaningful conversations.
