Terry, I have found some good in balance exercises. Where before, I seemed to go straight down every time I tripped on anything, I now have a better sense of "proprioception" (knowing where one's body is in space). Several times, I've caught myself mid-trip and kept myself from going down. Not a panacea of course, but perhaps it could help you a bit.
My daily exercises include standing on one foot, then the other, with eyes closed. I have worked up to 12-15 seconds on each foot. At the start, this took quite a lot of practice and persistence...I couldn't even do it for 1 second.
