THANK THE LORD my Poodle loves to play ball; she has to chase the ball every three minutes. Im in year 7 and holding on well at this point, I cant get through the shoulder rigidity but working at it.
I've been calling it "walking practice" since diagnosis. I carry pretty light dumbells to help with symmetry (in part). I still have to pay attention, And I sometimes do Monty Python-esq Silly Walks just to break things up but also to develop mindfulness, or better control..
@@jeffreybacon2564 Hi Jeffrey. Noooo, there are PWP that require assistive devices for mobility. You are not alone in that. I will put on my to do list some PD exercises for someone who requires a wheelchair. Feel free to reply with what you'd like me to focus on, otherwise I'll just put a routine together.
Hi Melanie, Yes, this exercise isn't for someone who is a fall risk or further along in the diagnosis. So sorry. I have some chair exercises that might help. Please feel free to reach out to me. Patrick
‘‘I am not only happy am alive but also glad that "#DrMadida" was able treat and cure me with his herbal medication of my parosmia, Meniere disease and Parkinson disease (PD) 🦠🦠with their herbal treatment. My smile is so bright because I am happy 😊😊😊😊’’..
Thanks My husband is suffering from parkenson deseas for the last 8 years. Now his age is 57. His main issue is stepping and right hand movement. What will we do. Please suggest us.
Hi there. Sorry to hear but you both can still live well and happily. For walking, tell him to lead with the edge of his heel and bring his sight line up, not down. "Raise the gaze, feel the heel and swing the wing." Wing of course refers to the arm. PD can make things we learned to do without being taught, difficult. Getting out of a chair, rolling over in bed, walking etc. Break them down, figure out the best way to do them, and practice. Hope that helps.
