All someone has to do is stand on the scale for one minute. Then the Zibro app scores their balance on a scale of one to 10. Colors are represented on the app as well, showing different zones.

Balance requires the coordination of the central nervous system, inner ear, eyes, muscles, bones and joints. Being able to stand on one leg for 30 seconds means a person is doing well, Kaufman said.

Improving your balance does that by reducing your odds of falling. Balance-training exercise may not be what you expect. It’s not just about practicing standing on one leg.
