What exercises do you do to maintain balance? What changes did you make in your home to prevent falls? On is area rugs on slippery floors, absolutely a no no for those who are prone to falls. Thanks for your post.

Even falling off a chair as we lean down to get something and slip and fall is a fall! I was in a clinical trail for women post breast cancer using Tai Chi as a form of increasing balance.
