Everything I discover in my research into elderly mobility issues will be recorded here.
First.....
Tai Chi.
There have been many studies into the effectiveness of this in promoting balance in the elderly. A review of the published studies showed that Tai chi improved balance but did NOT lead to a reduction in falls.
See article here.
Preventing falls is of paramount importance as a single fall can lead to serious injury. Once confidence starts to go it is time to consider an elderly mobility aid
