Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Medical researchers have been publishing more and more studies that have shown the benefits of practicing stability and strength exercises to limit the possibility of a fall. As an example, one study aimed to evaluate the effect of a balance training programme, which was based on core components for successful fall prevention in the elderly, on gait and balance of diabetic patients. The researcher's results confirm that gait and balance in these patients can be concurrently improved by a targeted intervention. Patients in the intervention group increased gait velocity, balance, muscle strength and joint mobility, and decreased their fear of falling. These beneficial outcomes were produced by following a regular routine of stability exercises.
