Following motor vehicles, the home is the second most common location for fatal injuries in the United States. The burden and costs of injuries at home are substantial. There are approximately 30,000 unintentional injury–related deaths at home each year , and there are an average of 21 million medical visits made each year because of home injuries. Leading causes of unintentional home injury deaths include falls, poisonings, and fire/burns. Together, these comprise 86% of all unintentional home injury deaths. Home injuries due to falling can be reduced through participating in  a regular series of senior balance exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises For Fall Prevention In The Home

   A daily dose of senior balance exercises can help minimize the risk of falling in the home. Common causes of falling in the home include tripping on clutter on the floor or catching a toe on a rug or cord. Additionally, wearing slippers or other unsupportive footwear can lead to loss of balance and falls. To reduce the incidence of falling in the home, you can rehearse equilibrium routines like standing on one foot and stepping forwards, backwards or to the side with the other foot. This stability exercise helps you develop excellent steadiness to statically stand on one foot while you dynamically move the other foot. Combining static and dynamic balance is a requirement for walking, stair climbing any many other movement patterns. You can learn necessary senior balance exercises and stability tips by following the direction of a qualified Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
