Balance Exercises And Balance Confidence

Balance Exercises To Help Balance Confidence

Recent studies have shown that balance exercises do in fact improve balance and reduce the risks of falling. Lets look at a study that paired balance exercises with confidence in ones balance and ability to keep from falling.

Interventions aiming at balance confidence improvement in older adults (Büla C.J., Monod S., Hoskovec C. and Rochat S.)

Loss of balance confidence is a frequent condition that affects 20-75% of community-dwelling older persons. Although a recent fall is a common trigger, loss of balance confidence also appears independent of previous experience with falls. Maintaining or improving balance confidence is important to avoid unnecessary, self-imposed restrictions of activity and subsequent disability.
Holding another person's hand or using an assistive device while walking are simple interventions that are used naturally to address poor balance confidence in daily life. However, more complex interventions, including balance exercises, have also been developed and tested to achieve more sustained improvement in balance confidence.

Balance Exercises Used As An Intervention

Multicomponent behavioral group interventions provided the most robust evidence of benefits in improving balance confidence and in decreasing activity avoidance. Among interventions not directly aiming at balance confidence improvement, balance exercise appears as the most promising monofactorial intervention.
