Those of you who find yourselves asking mom to pick up her feet when she walks or telling dad to watch where he\u2019s walking may actually be causing more problems for your parent than you are solving. It is possible mom may not be capable of stopping the foot shuffle. Meanwhile dad may be watching where he&#8217;s walking, but his brain and his legs are just not in sync.<\/p>\n<p>Shuffling is a common cause of falls that may lead to bone fractures and joint replacements. Your mother or father must be extra careful on slippery floors, or floors with area rugs and uneven thresholds. It is not uncommon for seniors to trip and stumble as their shoe sticks to something on the ground. Seniors should have their shoes properly fitted and exercise can improve mobility and stave off nasty falls.<\/p>\n<h2>Three Exercises to Improve Balance:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Single Leg Stand<\/strong> \u2013 Keep one hand balanced on a sturdy chair, stand on one leg, and bend the knee of the other leg for a count of ten and do the same with the other leg \u2013 repeat five times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opposite Arm &amp; Leg Balance<\/strong> \u2013 Again, keep a sturdy chair near you and with one hand balanced on the chair, stand on one leg and raise the opposite arm for a count of ten. Do the same with the other leg and arm \u2013 repeat five times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heel to Toe Walk<\/strong> \u2013 This exercise looks somewhat like a sobriety test as seniors walk a straight line heel to toe, heel to toe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Lack of exercise or obesity can cause poor posture and shuffling. Your parent can work with their senior care provider to find fitness activities. Yoga or aquatic therapy at a senior center can improve balance and walking.\u00a0 These activities may also help reduce weight and promote overall well-being for your parent.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors should consult a doctor before starting exercise. The doctor may have specific instructions or recommend a physical therapist. Additionally, they can provide guidance on suitable exercises for your loved one&#8217;s health condition. It&#8217;s important to prioritize safety and tailor the exercise regimen to their individual needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>Caregivers can be great companions on walks and to provide support for balance exercises.
