Parkinson's Disease and walking aids

[AnnaMonk]

I would like to hear from people precsribing walking aids to patients with parkinson's disease who have impaired balance. I am working in the community and am wondering what are the most appropriate walking aids for this group and also the best means of access into their homes i.e. ramp versus lift
Any ideas/comments gratefully received.

I totally agree! My friend suffers from parkinsons disease and he walks with the help of walking aid. He feels more safe and confident with that.
