Lower Body Strength
Lower body strength is a critical contributor to a balance disturbance. Testing will identify lower body weakness and, if necessary, exercise will significantly improve lower body strength. The Biodex can restore your strength for a more rapid response to potential imbalance mechanisms like uneven ground or potential trips.
Gait and Endurance
Independence is directly related to walking speed. Older adults typically display a slower walking speed, with shorter steps, varied in length. These are all factors related to falls.
