     By repeating certain senior balance exercises our mind can retain essential information that is necessary to develop adequate stability skills that result in improved steadiness and decreased risk for falling. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Scientists have determined that complex memories and complex movement patterns often involve association and binding together of different aspects of information. The information for remembering advanced movement patterns, like those used in balance,  can be both specific in detail and fine-grained through repetition of the movement activity. Additionally, movement memory can be retrieved or reassembled in part or as a whole by the areas of the brain that laid down the memory in the first place. Consequently, the key for older individuals to stay on their feet and limit the possibility of a fall is to practice senior balance exercises on a repetitive basis.

Daily Repetition Of Senior Balance Exercises

   Medical researchers have found that one of the most effective ways to enhance stability needed for every day life activities is to perform certain senior balance exercises as part of a regular routine. By rehearsing equilibrium routines, the brain can establish necessary movement memory that leads to better balance skills and a reduced capacity for falling. Balance is a complex movement skill that involves integrating information form senses like vision, the inner ear vestibular system and sensory feed back from the  body, especially the sense of touch from the feet. Once that incoming information is integrated in the balance center in the brain, then an outgoing message is sent to the muscles to contract in specific ways to be able to move with stability and coordination. Motor memory is part of the appropriate muscles contracting to maintain steadiness during all movement activities. Motor memory for good stability is developed through daily performance of equilibrium routines like standing on one foot or walking tandem down a hallway, where one foot follows directly behind the other foot. You can learn these specific steadiness routines and a step by step progression of other senior balance exercises by following the instruction of an experienced Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
