Falls in the Elderly Are Quite Common
Falls in the Elderly Are Quite Common:
1. Toe Taps on Cone: Place a plastic cup, opening down, on the floor between your feet. Starting with your right leg, lift your leg up to gently tap the top of the cup with your toes, then place your foot on the opposite (left) side of the cup. Lift your right foot back over the cup, and set it down on the right side. Repeat 10 times with each leg, alternating sides.
2. Seated Leg Lifts: Lift your right leg with the knee bent at 90 degrees. Hold your leg up with your foot about 6 to 10 inches off the floor for five seconds. Repeat 10 times, then switch legs and do 10 repetitions on the other side.
3. Seated March: While seated, march your legs 20 times, lifting your feet at least a few inches off the floor. Be sure to focus on maintaining good posture while marching.
4. Hand-Eye Coordination and Balance: Place a plastic cup (opening facing down) in your right hand. Stretch your arm out in front of you while balancing the cup in your open hand.
Slowly move your arm out to the side and back to center. Repeat 10 times with each arm. When you're comfortable with this exercise, you may try doing it with your eyes closed. Be sure to remain seated, and if necessary, have someone help keep you upright, and/or be ready to stabilize you if you get dizzy.
5. Seated Arm Reach: While seated, simultaneously lift your right arm up high and raise your left leg, knee bent. Hold for a few seconds, then alternate sides. Repeat for a total of 20 times.
6. Side Leg Raise: Stand behind a chair, with one or both hands on the back of the chair for support. (Alternatively, keep one or both hands on the counter). Lift your right leg out to the side. Repeat 10 times for each leg. If you're comfortable, do the exercise without holding on to the chair or counter.
7. Staggered Stance Balance: Place your right foot forward and your left foot behind, then slowly shift your balance from your front leg to your back leg. Repeat 10 times, then switch leg positions, placing your left foot forward and your right foot behind. If needed, do this exercise standing next to a chair, or between two chairs, with the backs of the chairs toward your body, so you can grab on to them for support.

This article is incorrect and misleading. "You Should Probably Do a Clean Install Instead" is, for most cases, false. Besides sysprep, there are many inexpensive, and very expensive backup applications that do "dissimilar hardware restore" . Examples include EMC/Dantz Retrospect ( semi-cheap ), Symantec Backup Exec ( expensive ) or Arcserve ( so expensive that you'd need to be able to crap golden nuggets ). In any case, one can always go to the device manager and change all the device drivers which are system specific and update them to the generic Microsoft equivalents that correspond to the hardware on the new system. I've used this method for years without any problems. See, eg., here : http://reboot.pro/topic/15901-migrate-win7-between-pcs-without-migration-tools/9

Good thing I didn't read this article last week when I used a common freeware partition tool's copy disk wizard to setup three computers (hp desktop, toshiba laptop and a dell 2-1) with new ssd's....I've even swapped them out putting the dell Ssd into the toshiba so far all copies of Windows are still activated and I haven't had to call MS. Maybe I'm a wizard, my money is on lucky idiot though.
