Does the motor learning need to be "error-free" with balance training?
Answer
No. Error-free is a relative concept. When we see a person stumble all over the place and they are hurting themselves, of course that is the unsafe range. But then if they take a step because they just stood up and they lose their balance, it does not mean that they are going to lose their balance forever or in the future. As we know with frequent exposure in varying contexts, our CNS will eventually adapt. That is why it is very important for us to think about treatment interventions in which we are exposing the client frequently to the same conditions that we want them to learn. Whenever there is an error that happens, it is okay. We just have to figure out why is this error happening, what is it that we can do so that error will not occur again or a patient, in the event of an error, could anticipate and recover without hurting themselves.
