Balance Exercises Related To Hearing And Vision

Balance exercises are important as we age. Performing balance exercises daily helps offset the aged related detrioration of important balance system components including vision and inner ear function, as correlated with hearing. The three main components of the balance system, our vision, our inner ear function, called the vestibular system, and the sensation from our feet and ankles all are compromised as we age into our 60's.

Balance Exercises As Related To Hearing And Vision

Balance exercises were studied in relation to hearing and vision impairments by Gerson L.W., Jarjoura D. and McCord G. in the study, Risk Of Imbalance In Elderly People With Impaired Hearing Or Vision. The effect of impaired hearing and vision on balance in a sample of 977 elderly people residing in the community was evaluated. Of the sample, 21% reported balance problems, 27% vision problems, and 30% hearing problems. The increased relative risk for balance problems was 1.7 for each 10-year age increment. Women were 1.7 times more likely to report balance problems than were men. The relative risk of imbalance with impaired vision decreased with age from 2.8 in those aged 65-69 years to 1.0 in those over 85 years. There was no age-hearing interaction, the relative risk for impaired hearing is 1.6. CONCLUSION: It appears that impaired vision and hearing are important risk factors for imbalance and perhaps falls and injury.
