J Elderly Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls Well then, how does our balance work? elderly balance 2Our balance system is truly amazing! When we rise from a chair, climb stairs and walk outside on uneven terrain there is cooperation between the brain, nervous system, muscles and bones which help keep us from falling. Our body can do this by way of three systems. • Visual cues come from our eyes and tell us all sorts of information about our environment. Our eyes help us see and prepare for potential dangers and obstacles which can prevent falls. • Internal spatial orientation tells us where our arms and legs are positioned in space. For example, if you close your eyes and then lift your arm and wave it about your head, you know where your arm is because of this inner sense of feedback. • The inner ear also contains a fluid-filled semicircular canal which gives us important information on the position of our head and its movement in space in relation to gravity. This is why we get seasick or car sick when there is a lot of head movement and ground movement. When all these systems are working together automatically with our musculoskeletal system we can stay active and independent, preventing falls and improving your elderly balance.
