       Decompensation can be due to several factors and can be assisted by practicing senior balance exercises on a regular basis. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now In medical terms, decompensation is the functional deterioration of a previously working structure or system. Decompensation may occur due to fatigue, stress, illness, or old age. For individuals who have been diagnosed with dizziness and balance problems, decompensation can be a specific decline in balance abilities. For example, after the brain has learned to compensate for vestibular dysfunction by performing specific equilibrium routines, events such as a bad cold or flu, minor surgery, or even anything that interrupts normal activity for a few days can cause the brain to “forget” what it learned and symptoms to recur. This is called decompensation. Most people are able to quickly recover from decompensation by immediately returning to the home-based stability exercise program developed during their initial onset of symptoms of vertigo and imbalance. Now you can practice appropriate steadiness techniques and exercises at home to maximize your balance skills and limit the potential of a fall.

Senior Balance Exercises Minimize Decompensation

    By keeping up with a consistent routine of senior balance exercises, you can reduce the effects of decompensation if you encounter an unexpected event like a cold, the flu or medical procedure. Balance abilities are enhanced by a consistent repetition of stability techniques and specific equilibrium exercises that are directed at your starting balance competency. Equilibrium routines can be broken down into two categories: Static Balance and Dynamic balance. With Static balance exercises, you want to start with standing on one foot and centering your weight in the middle of your arch. In this narrow base of support position, you will notice rapid movement and the feet and ankles, which are your natural balance reactions at work getting stronger and faster. With Dynamic balance routines, you can progress to walking in a challenged gait fashion, like walking along a line heel to toe. You can learn a specific progression of senior balance exercises developed by an experienced Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD. You can follow along with this DVD at home, and refer to it on a daily basis, which will help you be prepared for any event that might trigger a decompensation of balance abilities. after such an event, you can resume the senior balance exercise routine and return to normal functional levels.
