------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Thomas Riess <[log in to unmask]> Subject: (no subject) Dear Listmembers, As some of you may know over the past several years, myself (a parkinsonian) in collaboration with the Human Interface Technology lab (part of the University of Washington) have been developing special gait cueing glasses to assist parkinsonians in overcoming walking problems. The purpose of the survey is to determine how common certain experiences are among parkinsonians. By responding to the following few questions you can assist us in furthering this research. AGE: _______ NUMBER OF YEARS SINCE YOU WERE DIAGNOSED WITH PD: ________ DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TREMOR? _________ DO YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH WALKING? _________ FREEZING IN DOORWAYS? ________ SHUFFLING GAIT? ________ PROBLEMS STARTING TO WALK? _________ PROBLEMS SUSTAINING WALKING? _________ DO EVER FEEL AS THOUGH YOUR FEET ARE "GLUED TO THE FLOOR"? __________ DO YOU FIND THAT STEPPING OVER OBJECTS ON THE FLOOR IS HELPFUL FOR WALKING? _________ DO YOU FIND THAT YOU DON'T FREEZE WHILE WALKING UP OR DOWN STAIRS? _________ ARE SOME FLOOR PATTERNS EASIER FOR YOU TO WALK ACROSS (for example, cracks in the sidewalk)? ___________ Thank you for your response. For your information I will publish the results of this survey on the PD listserver.
