How many aged care residents do you know who suffer from ? Probably more than you'd expect.

Can cause in older adults?

Anxiety isn’t just a mental health issue—it affects (how we move and perceive our body in space).

How? Amygdala hyperactivation and cognitive overload.

🔹 When anxiety kicks in, the , the brain’s fear centre, becomes
🔹 This shifts cognitive resources away from the sensorimotor cortex and parietal lobe, areas responsible for processing proprioceptive feedback.
🔹 The result? Delayed or impaired proprioceptive responses, making movement feel less automatic and increasing instability.
🔹 Older adults are particularly vulnerable, as this contributes to balance deficits and fall risk.

How do we help?

1. Dual-Task Training
Incorporating cognitive tasks (e.g., counting backwards, recalling words) while performing physical exercises improves cognitive-motor integration.

2. Proprioceptive and Balance Training
Exercises such as weight shifting and standing on unstable surfaces improves automatic postural responses, reducing reliance on cognitive processing for balance.

3. Relaxation & Mindfulness Techniques
Breathing exercises and mindfulness help regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing anxiety-related cognitive overload.
Can improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance overall movement confidence.

And much more..
