Fall Risk Appraisal For Retirement Homes

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com Many of us want the very best care for our parents as they age. We want to make sure they are safe and well taken care of in whatever living situation they end up in. Unfortunately, the statistic of one in three seniors falling every year is daunting. We do not want our elderly loved ones to be a part of that statistic. Ultimately, we want to know that if they have to be placed in a retirement home that they will not be at a greater  risk for falling.   Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now  

Balance Exercises Reduce The Risk Of Falling

Recently, more and more medical research is coming out regarding balance exercises and reducing the risk of falling. Toraman A, Yildirim NU. in their study, The falling risk and physical fitness in older people, looked at balance routines and the fall risk.  This study was geared towards educating medical professionals working in retirement homes. This study includes 60 persons whose mean age was 73.3+/-6.6 years. Their demographic characteristics, cognitive function, their balance, falling risk and their physical fitness level have been evaluated. The research concluded that the old persons' falling risk and physical fitness level should be evaluated in some intervals. According to their falling risks and physical fitness level, the rehabilitation programs should be programmed to decrease their falling risk, and to increase lower and upper extremity muscle strength, aerobic endurance and especially their agility and dynamic balance performance.
