12 YR. POST STROKE BALANCE RECOVERY EXERCISESFOR SENIOR
Question HELLO, I HAD A MASSIVE STROKE 12 YRS. AGO AND I STILL CAN'T WALK I AM 70 YRS. OLD I GET AROUND THE HOUSE USING A QUAD CANE WHAT ARE THE BEST BALANCE EXERCISES FOR ME? THANK YOU.

I can list websites that have balance exercises, however, it is unknown if those exercises would be appropriate for you personally. Here are some websites with balance exercises:
