  Tremors can be one of the side effects following a stroke, and practicing senior balance exercises can help those who suffer from tremors. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now In general, healthcare workers have seen that movement disorders are a recognized complication of stroke. Many different types of hyperkinetic and hypokinetic movement disorders have been reported and can be seen after ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. Dystonia chorea with or without hemiballismus tremor  parkinsonism segmental or focal myoclonus athetosis, pseudoathetosis  and asterixis  have all been described and occur at presentation of the stroke, in the delayed setting  or as a progressive condition. Transient dyskinesias or ‘limb shaking’ spells have been described as a symptom of transient ischaemic attacks. Additionally, suffering with movement tremors can result in imbalance and a greater risk for falling. Folks who suffer with tremors, therefore, would benefit from a daily routine of senior balance exercises to improver steadiness and reduce any risk for a fall.

Senior Balance Exercises Help With Tremors

     Living with a movement tremor or an intentional tremor can be very difficult and performing senior balance exercises every day can at least help improve stability and reduce the risk of a fall. Since movement tremors can naturally create an imbalance or unsteadiness, the first step towards better stability is to learn how to use your sensory input from your feet and ankles. As an example, you can start by standing with your feet shoulder width a part and your focus on the sense of touch between your feet and the floor. Try to imagine a straight plumb line coursing through the center of your body and anchoring in the center of your feet. By imagining this line, you will be able to connect the sensory input from your feet to the balance center in your brain, which will enhance stability and minimize the influence of any movement tremors. You can learn these steadiness techniques and other senior balance exercises by following the instruction of a knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
