Sports rehabilitation professionals often prescribe unstable objects for balance training. Unfortunately, there is a lack of measurement of balance confidence when incorporating these objects.

Understanding the influence of balance confidence on task performance using unstable objects may help professionals better prescribe a balance training program.
