Home Aids Can Compliment Senior Balance Exercises

    Since falling is such a major issue for older adults, healthcare professionals can help evaluate the need for home assistance devices as well as provide instruction for how to perform senior balance exercises to enhance stability and reduce the potential of a fall. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now One of the main goals of geriatric care is to help the patient maintain a quality independent lifestyle for as long as possible. Clearly, falls can drastically and dramatically change a patient's independence and quality of life both temporarily and permanently. Many falls can be avoided. Healthcare workers including physicians, physical therapists, nurses, care givers and others caring for older adults must be alert for warning signs and assess and intermittently reassess a patient's fall risk. In doing so, they should utilize specialists, other healthcare professionals, and ancillary services in an effort to achieve the best outcomes. Often physical therapy departments or home health agencies will also perform in-home evaluation of extrinsic or environmental factors which could lead to falls. The home can be assessed for risks (area rugs, stairs, obstacles, poor lighting) and needs (grab bars, tub rails, transfer benches). This will allow the factors to be minimized or eliminated, risks pointed out to patients and family, and home aids to be added. Examples of walking and home aids include:

A) walker

B) quad-cane

C) hemi-walker

D) cane

E) rolling walker

F) grab bars

G) Proper lightening

H) Ramps

I) Guard rails
