Balance Training Reduces Fear of Falling and Improves Dynamic Balance and Isometric Strength in Older Adults
Falls are a major health problem for older adults, with 30-35% of those who live in the community falling at least once a year. However, fall incidence is about 3X higher in older adults who live in a skilled nursing environment than those in the community.
Training balance skills in older adults is proven to help reduce the risk of falls. Findings from a recently published Clinical Study utilizing the Biodex Balance System SD, is another validation of the effectiveness of balance training in older adults.
