A Mayo Clinic study highlights that standing on one leg is important in determining aging and gait changes.
Balance and muscle strength are key factors in senior independence and healthy aging.
In the study, 40 participants over the age of 50 were tested for walking, balance, grip and knee strength. Tests revealed deterioration of balance with age, which is associated with the risk of falls.
Dr. Kenton Kaufman notes the importance of balance and suggests exercises that don't require equipment, such as standing on one leg.
