Head Trauma, Vertigo, And Senior Balance Exercises

Senior Balance Exercises Help After Head Trauma

   Since the incidence of falling and subsequent  trauma to the head have increased as the population has aged, medical researchers have started to focus their studies on the effectiveness of senior balance exercises  and vertigo exercises for older adults after a fall. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Statistics reveal that the fall rate for our aging population involves one in three senior citizens falling every year. Unfortunately, falls often result in a blow to the head and subsequent trauma, which includes vertigo and disequilibrium. Head trauma from a fall  is considered a common cause of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.  Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is one of the most common forms of vertigo for older people and the incidence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo increases to thirty percent at the age of seventy years old. Not only have medical researchers seen that the incidence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo increases over the years, they have also determined that vertigo secondary to a blow to the head can have a greater degree of reoccurrence. In light of these statistics, it is essential for older individuals to perform senior balance exercises every day to maximize their balance abilities and limit their possibility of falling and hitting their head.

Try Senior Balance Exercises To Reduce Falls

     Medical researchers have proven that routinely practicing senior balance exercises can boost ones stability and decrease the incidence of falling and being injured from a fall. One simple equilibrium routine you can try at home involves standing with your feet in a line, heel to toe. Be sure to stand near a counter, table or other stable object if you need to grab on. In this tandem stance position, your feet and ankles will wobble quickly back and forth. This excessive movement is your natural balance reactions at work keeping you upright and building your balance skills. You can learn how to do these senior balance exercises and a step by step progression of other steadiness routines and strengthening exercises by following the direction of a knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
