Balance Exercises And Cane Usage

Balance exercises and using a cane has been a recent topic of medical researchers. Liu HH, Eaves J, Wang W, Womack J, Bullock P. in their paper, Assessment of canes used by older adults in senior living communities, evaluated balance exercises, balance abilities and cane usage. Ninety-three older (≥65 years old) subjects who use canes for daily activities were recruited from four assisted living facilities and five retirement centers for this cross-sectional study. The assessment involved interviewing cane users with a questionnaire, examining their canes, and investigating how these canes were used by their owners during ambulation. Forward-leaning posture during ambulation might be associated with increased falls among the older cane users. Knowledge of these problems could assist health professionals to implement appropriate interventions, including balance exercises and balance techniques, in clinical settings and to provide community service to address all problems related to cane use.
