Hi Gary,
Unstable services "may not" or in other words it's being assumed, because we
don't really know the extent of human motor control. That's actually a very
benign comment from Mel Siff, because he's been quoted as an ardent opponent
of balance training devices. Inasmuch as anything that inhibits the
feedforward mechanism won't have a high carryover rate to function. In my
opinion there is no such thing as static/dynamic standing, but rather a
continuum of motion from subtle (postural sway) to dynamic (agility
movements) and most devices have merit if used correctly and not as a
one-stop solution to any particular problem.

Hi Maria
You might also find an old article of Mel's worth reading to widen
perspective on this issue. "Functional training revisited" Strength and
Conditioning Journal Vol 24 No 5 pgs 42-46
For example he writes:
"the popular use of balance drills on balls, wobble boards, and other
relatively unstable surfaces may not serve as suitable functional activities
because they implicate very different change in support and compensatory
strategies compared to those involved in real sporting situations..
We also need to appreciate the relative roles of both proprioceptive and
vestibular systems when moving from static to dynamic balance.
