Which statement is NOT a Lebed Method hallmark?

• A. It often helps to improve gait
• B. It uses low-impact steps
• C. It often helps to improve balance
• D. It is also known as the Feldenkrais Method

Answer: (D)

The Lebed Method focuses on improving functional movement—especially how you walk and maintain balance—through low-impact stepping patterns that protect joints while building strength and coordination. That emphasis on gait improvement and balance through gentle, controlled steps is what you’d expect to see as hallmarks of this approach. The statement about being known as the Feldenkrais Method isn’t aligned with Lebed’s program, because Feldenkrais is a distinct movementeducation system that centers on movement awareness and self-directed exploration rather than a specific gait-focused, low-impact exercise routine. So the option describing it as the Feldenkrais Method is not a characteristic of the Lebed Method.
