  Every year one in three older adults over the age of sixty experience falling, which can be reduced in frequency by practicing senior balance exercises  Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses and physical therapists are well aware of the fall rate among aging individuals. Unfortunately, for many reasons senior citizens often do not report a fall to their family or physician. Older adults are  sometimes afraid to admit to a problem with unsteadiness because they do not want to lose an independent lifestyle even though learning how to perform steadiness exercises can help to reduce falls and maintain an active and independent living situation. However, for aging individuals it is critical to report falls.  If an elder is at fall risk (or has experienced one or more falls), the doctor may want to monitor the elder for adverse effects. For example, memory screening annually to measure any changes in cognition, or balance testing each year to measure the risk for falling. Measuring function in key areas may pick up on subtle changes in the elder’s health status. Early detection may lead to action and prevent an adverse drug event, or lead to early intervention that can help maintain independence. such intervention can include learning how to practice specific stability techniques and senior balance exercises.

One such equilibrium routine involves standing with one foot directly behind the other foot. This tandem stance position will challenge your steadiness and lead to better balance. You can learn how to perform tandem standing routines and other senior balance exercises in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
