    Re: Parkinson's Disease and walking aids

    Some PD caregiver has just mentioned trying a new walkwer, the Dashaway (Dashaway » Home). She says her husband found it stable and he had to remain straight while walking.

    Re: Parkinson's Disease and walking aids

    Hi
    There are some great work going on with the AlterG and Parkinson's check it out at alter-g.com

    “I love this machine, and I tell all of my prescribing physicians about it. Patients definitely feel great when they exercise using the Alter-GTM anti-gravity treadmill. People with chronic pain are running without discomfort, elderly patients are able to maintain their aerobic capacity and it is a great way to maximize brain plasticity. My patients with Parkinson’s Disease can’t say enough about how good it feels to run again.”
