Balance Equipment

Balance exercises can help you stay independent by helping you avoid the disability - often permanent - that may result from falling. As you will see, there is a lot of overlap between strength and balance exercises; very often, one exercise serves both purposes. Just do your regularly scheduled strength exercises, and they will improve your balance at the same time.

Balance training is a valuable form of exercise and rehabilitation. It requires minimal cost to utilize in the clinical setting, and home-training balance equipment is also inexpensive ($25-$50). This form of therapy should form a basic component of any fitness or rehabilitation program alongside training aimed at strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility. When we step off a curb we don't know is there or suffer an unexpected jolt muscles respond automatically to maintain balance and posture(Wilder, et al.,1996). Disturbances in these automatic reactions is related to the development and persistence of common conditions such as low back pain (Takala '98). Poor balance has been found to be associated with all the following health care problems: Ataxia Low back pain Neck pain Arm numbness and tingling Chronic ankle pain or instability Acute ankle sprains Chronic knee pain or instability Osteoarthritis of the knee Balance exercises has been shown to be successful in remedying many of these conditions.
