Balance Exercises Help Those With Alzheimer's

Balance exercises are essential to start when we head into our Fifties. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Balance exercises are critical to learn before balance problems begin because underneath the surface of our skin our balance system components are already well under way with the aging process by the time an individual is 50 years old. The balance system is made up of sensory input from our eyes (vision usually begins to change in our forties), our inner ear vestibular organ ( our hearing and vestibular system begins to diminish in our forties and fifties) and our sensory feedback from our feet and ankles ( that can decline depending on our commitment to nutrition and exercise throughout our lives). By learning balance exercises early in life we can master important balance techniques and keep our balance skills strong as we age to prevent falls and injuries from falls.

Balance Exercises And Alzheimer's Patients

Balance exercises are also essential to perform early on to assist individuals who might progress to having Alzheimer's later in life. Research has shown that Alzheimer's patients are able to perform balance exercises if they learn them early on. Santana-Sosa E, Barriopedro MI, López-Mojares LM, Pérez M, Lucia A. looked at balance exercises and Alzheimer's in their paper, Exercise training is beneficial for Alzheimer's patients. They found decreased ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) associated with deterioration in physical capacity are key determinants of the poor quality of life and loss of independence of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 12-week training program (including resistance, flexibility, joint mobility and balance/coordination exercises) for patients with AD on their i) overall functional capacity (muscle strength and flexibility, agility and balance while moving, and endurance fitness), and ii) ability to perform ADLs. The results showed significant improvements after training in upper and lower body muscle strength and flexibility, agility and dynamic balance, and endurance fitness gait and balance abilities (with subsequent decrease in risk of falls) and in the ability to perform ADLs independently.
