Square Stepping Exercise Reduces Fall Risk Among Elderly Population
The study looked at whether a specific exercise called Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) can help reduce the risk of falls in elderly people. They compared SSE to strength and balance training in a group of 30 elderly individuals. The results showed that SSE is just as effective as strength and balance training in improving lower-body fitness. This means that SSE could be a good, affordable way for older adults to stay active and reduce their risk of falling. In conclusion, SSE is a safe and beneficial exercise that can help older people improve their mobility and mood, and lower their risk of falling.
