Balance Assessments.
Walking and balance is a complex activity which, for most of our life, we take for granted. Our brains use information from our eyes, sensors in our muscles and joints and signals from the balance organs in our ears to keep us up-right and steady. Balance problems can occur if these signals change, often causing dizziness and falls.
Balance disorders are a major health concern for older adults and can become a serious worry for those affected, resulting in a lack of confidence or limited activity and lifestyle for fear of having another fall.
