Challenging Balance Training

Raising The Difficulty Of Balance Training

All too often as we age our balance decreases and our need for balance training increases. No two older adults, however, are the same. As we age, our health can change in many ways. Consequently, balance training programs must be personalized to each individual to maximize their improvement in balance and safety. One senior may struggle with getting up from a chair and across the open living room to the kitchen. That senior would benefit from basic level balance training, practicing balance techniques while standing on a hard, flat surface. Another senior may lose their balance while doing turns dancing or stepping of a curb while taking the dog for a walk. That person's balance training would benefit from the challenge of trying to balance while on a soft foam surface. A recent reasearch study has shown the effectiveness of balance training on soft foam surfaces to improve balance.
