Postural instability refers to difficulty maintaining balance and staying upright during standing, walking, or movement. People with postural instability may feel unsteady, sway excessively, have difficulty walking on uneven surfaces, or experience an increased risk of falls. Postural instability can result from vestibular disorders, neurological conditions, muscle weakness, vision problems, or other balance-related conditions.
