The elderly are more susceptible to fall. This is due to the limited balance and less stable. Indeed, age can make a person lose anticipatory postural control or ability to maintain balance. Improve balance, parents can do a strenuous workout catching the ball.
"Rehabilitation is designed specifically to enhance the adjustment of postural control and then improve the overall balance," said Alexander Aruin, Professor of Physical Therapy at the University of Illinois, in Chicago, as reported by Zeenews, Tuesday (01/12/2015).

The researchers asked a group of healthy young adults to stand up and catch the medicine ball. In another study, they ask the same group of people older adults healthy.
Then, researchers measured the electrical activity of the leg muscles and look for differences in the ability of the two age groups to produce anticipatory postural adjustments before and after training.
In older adults, the researchers found a way not only to improve, but also increase in performing tasks that are not part of the training.
"No effect the transfer," said Aurin.
The results of this study were published in two journals that Electromyography and Kinesiology and Experimental Brain Research.
