I'm always on the look out for balance exercises that are easy to do at home. For seniors, maintaining good balance is the best way to avoid falls. The worst case scenario after a hard fall is a broken hip. Post-op recovery is quite difficult over 70 or 80.
The second video is a different take on how to improve balance because he is demonstrating exercises to strengthen muscles around the hips and glutes. The exercises to work adductors and abductors look more like routines I would do, as opposed to doing crab walks with an exercise band. Usually people mention working the small muscles around the ankle.
The reason the third video caught my eye is because the subtitle was "Proprioceptive Rehab by Dr. Doug Weise DPT." Proprioception was an important factor that I learned about in 2012 when doing knee rehab.
