Balance/fall prevention – multi-tasking and the vestibular system exercise
Falls can be a problem for those with PD. This video, compliments of Russ Parker, personal trainer, shows a balance exercise that can help:
It is called the infinity walk. This exercises the vestibular system and multi-tasking because the person has to concentrate on walking the figure eight pattern around 2 dots while trying to keep an eye on a third dot. This drill simulates negotiating a room with a lot of people, obstacles and a lot going on. Caution – if the person is unsteady walking, someone should walk next to them in case they get thrown off balance.
Do you have balance issues? Have you fallen? What type of exercises do you do to help improve y our balance?
