1 Week Five Session 1 Session 5.1: Standing Balance Purpose Objectives Improve balance in general Improve balance while performing daily activities By the end of the session, elders will: Materials 1. Review WISE goal from session (4.1) and create new WISE goal. 2. Participate, as able, in Standing Balance Activities. Agenda Step or mat for each elder Chairs for balance for those that wish to use them (elders who use a cane/walker can use the cane/walker for balance) Small objects such as gloves or balls for reaching exercise Activity 1: Review WISE Goal 2, Set new WISE Goal 3 Form Activity 2: Checking Your Standing Position Activity 3: Standing Balance with Different Foot Positions Activity 4: Marching with Head Movements Activity 5: Weight Changes while Standing Activity 6: Weight Changes while Stepping. WELL-Balanced Page 131
2 Activity 1: Discuss Goals Use WISE Goal, Form if you wish (20 minutes) Ask elders to share how they did on meeting their previous goals. You may want to ask them to share Which goals they were able to complete? What goals were the most difficult? Ask them to share ideas on how they can build on their successes. If they share obstacles that got in their way, ask the other elders for suggestions as to how to overcome those obstacles. If you are using the WISE Goal form, hand out a new one. WELL-Balanced Curriculum Page 132
3 Standing Balance Activities The type of support (chair, wall) elders will need for these exercises depends upon their individual abilities. Start by having all participants stand with their back to a wall with a chair in front of them. The exercises are designed to challenge the elders standing balance and, with practice to improve it. Safety Some elders may need to perform these exercises with their back about 2 feet from a wall, with a chair in front of them. Do not ask an elder to perform the next exercise until they can safely perform the task at hand. For example, do not ask elders to perform an exercise with their eyes closed if they are not able to do it safely with their eyes open. Instruct elders to open their eyes immediately if they feel they are about to lose their balance. Remind elders to perform all exercises within their comfort zone (never to a point of overexertion or beyond what feels safe), and to notify the coach if they feel any pain or experience any unusual symptoms. Elders should feel free to sit out an activity WELL-Balanced Page 133
4 Activity 2: Checking Your Standing Position (70 minutes for Activities 2 6) Before starting any of the standing balance activities, show your participants how to check their standing position. Show them the correct standing position. Have them practice while standing with their backs against the wall. Important Reminders STAND TALL Imagine that the top of your head is being pulled toward the ceiling by a string (imagine you are a puppet on a string). Look straight ahead. Focus on an object 5 or 10 feet in front of you. Try to hold each standing position for 15 to 20 seconds. NEVER HAVE ELDERS CLOSE THEIR EYES UNTIL THEY ARE COM- FORTABLE WITH THE EXERCISE ALWAYS HAVE A CHAIR CLOSE IN CASE THEY BEGIN TO LOOSE THEIR BALANCE WELL-Balanced Curriculum Page 134
5 To make sure elders are standing correctly, say to them: Stand with your back against the wall, feet flat on the floor with your heels about 6 inches from the wall. Relax your arms and let them hang by your sides. (Check to make sure the space between the arm and body is equal on both sides for each elder.) Hold your head up, look straight ahead, and focus on an object 5 to 10 feet in front of you. Gently move your head straight back until your ears are above your shoulders. STAND TALL. (Check that elders upper backs are straight and chests slightly lifted.) Pull your stomach muscles in and up so that your stomach flattens. (Check to see that their lower back has a slight curve to the front and that the hips are level, the kneecaps are facing forward, and the ankles and feet are straight.) Your body weight should be equal on each foot. Looking straight ahead with your eyes focused on an object in front of you, breathe normally, and hold this standing position for 15 seconds. IF APPROPRIATE: Now, still breathing normally, close your eyes, hold this standing position, and try to focus on the feeling of standing correctly. WELL-Balanced Page 135
6 Activity 3: Standing Balance with Different Foot Positions These exercises teach the elders how to keep their body steady when their feet are in different positions. They will make everyday activities such as walking, stepping into and out of the bathtub, and standing in crowded spaces easier. Elders must stand near a wall or chair to steady themselves when needed. Safety precaution: Most elders will not be able to stand with their feet together (side by side or heel to toe). Always start with feet hip distance apart. Always have a chair within reach of each elder in case they need it for balance. Only use more difficult position or eyes closed (in red) if you are certain it will be safe Changing Foot Position 1. Breath normally throughout 2. Stand with your feet hip distance apart 3. Hold the position for 15 seconds 4. Stand with feet slightly apart, one foot in front of the other 5. Hold the position for 15 seconds WELL-Balanced Curriculum Page 136

8 Repeat with Actions: repeat each exercise from Changing Foot Position adding a small action such as singing a song or counting backward. 1. Stand with your feet hip distance apart -Count or sing as you hold the position for 15 seconds 2. Stand with feet slightly apart, one foot in front of the other -Count or sing as you hold the position for 15 seconds WELL-Balanced Curriculum Page 138

10 Repeat While Reaching: Repeat each exercise from Changing Foot Positions while reaching for an object. For this exercise elders will need to be in groups of 2 (have them pair up). They will take turns holding an object and reaching for an object. Use several different objects (a ruler, a book, a ball) and change the position of the object (head high, waist high, knee high) for each try. 1. Stand with your feet hip distance apart -Reach for the object your partner is holding -Continue reaching for the object as your partner changes the height of the object (3 or 4 times) 2. Stand with feet slightly apart, one foot in front of the other -Reach for the object your partner is holding -Continue reaching for the object as your partner changes the height of the object (3 or 4 times) 3.

12 Activity 4: Marching with Head Movements Many elders become unsteady just going through a regular day.
