Abstract
The fall in the elderly can cause very serious consequences such as fractures, cranial – cerebral injuries, etc. A significant increase in life expectancy over the past few decades, has affected the need to increase efforts to reduce the risk of falling to a minimum, since ceased to be an issue of marginal sections of society. Until now, patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency circulatory derivative, were only part of the groups subjected to the above reduction in the risk of falling. It should create an exercise program for that particular group based on the latest methods of treatment and diagnosis for significant improvement in their quality of life.
