  • Having a central nervous system disorder, such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis.
  • Having an inner ear condition that causes dizziness, such as Meniere’s disease.
  • Having vision problems, such as glaucoma, cataracts or macular degeneration.
  • Having weakened muscles, notably those of the back, thigh or abdomen.
  • Having nerve damage in the feet or legs.
