Thumbs up Balance issues

Many here have balance issues and I think I remember that there is a condition with a name where a person has to hold on to something at all times. I had to touch a wall or something as I walked. Also a hole in the backyard was not negotiable, I would go down like a sack of hammers. Regaining balance is (as always) real slow. I felt like core excersices helped more than anything specifically targeted to balance. I had to go to using a walker as I fell on concrete and had to admit I was getting worse. In hindsight I was in an acute phase of Amyotrophy and I no longer use the walker. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
