This causes the nerves to lose contact with the ground. Due to the loss of ground contact, the nerves become dull and slower to react. When one falls, nerves are unable to trigger foot muscles that can help you gain balance.The risk of falling is higher for older men and women People have believed for a long time that old age is associated with a loss of stability. The research shows that this belief is false and older people who follow the right therapy will quickly regain balance. The fact that one is getting older does not increase the risk of falling. If this were true, then many people would suffer injuries or even die from falls.Balance is determined by the single nerve of the foot. In Kenya, a study was conducted to find the missing link. The study compared nerve-foot relationships between older people and the younger generation, who have been wearing shoes since birth.Researchers believed that walking barefoot could lead to thickening in the foot skin and eventually, falls as people
