ok, i have this wierd way of walking up and down the stairs, where i always need something like a handrail, and i always go up or down with only my right foot first, and place my left at the same one my right ones at. I am trying to walk normally w/ out a handrail, but i dont have good balance, how can i make better balance? Also, if it helps, I have lower depth perception than normal.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
all balance in your body is controlled by your euhstation (sp) tubes in your ears. have you always had troubles with your balance? if you have, i suggest possibly seeing a doctor.
and if you want, you can try walking around in high heels or more complicated shoes when you are at your house. that way it will be much easier when you walk in public.
let me know if ihelped.

First, holding the handrail is not a bad thing. The handrail is there so that you can be safe. Continue to hold the handrail, especially is your depth perception is a little off. Even if your balance is perfect, your depth perception can still throw you down the stairs...I speak from experience. :-)
Second, your balance can be improved simply by building your muscles throughout your body. Yoga is an excellent excercize that builds balance, strength, and coordination. Focus on the strength of your legs, since stronger leg muscles will give you the confidence to step just one foot on a stair. You might also try sitting on one of those balance discs whenever you're at the computer.

i am not sure that walking with every other foot is normal. everyone has there own style of walking and your is just unlike certian others. well you could try balancing on a straight line. the reason why you are so unblanced probably is becasuse you have weak ankles. so strengten up your angles and try walking a diffrent way! hope i helped
