Dear Friends, Bill Woolley, a Listfriend from Canada, has kindly offered information for building a movable table. The table is designed by and for a person with PD. The information is below, and also on my website at: http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/linkpage.htm At this time, however, the website does not include photos of the table. Bill will send photos as attachments upon request. Best regards, Kathrynne ********************************************************************** Build an all-purpose movable table, designed to meet the needs of people with Parkinson's – by Bill Woolley, White Rock, BC, Canada A few years ago I had a moveable table made that I could roll around in front of me. Now I can read books or newspapers now without having to hold them. I can also use it for writing, eating, studying, and other purposes. Being on rollers, I can move it from room to room if I need to. It was made by some students as a "school project." It is very simple and inexpensive to make. My hope is that it may help some body else, as it has helped me. Here are the measurements for the table. You may e-mail me if you have further questions. I can also send photos of the table, as attachments. [log in to unmask] Measurements: The table frame is made of 1 inch tubular steel. SIDES (2): Height (not counting wheels): 25 inches high Width outside: 21 inches Width inside: 19 inches BACK (1): Height: 25 inches high Width outside: 26 inches Width inside: 24 inches TOP (1): Width: 32 inches wide at top Length: 32 inches long My table was only 26 inches long. I found that this was too short, so I would recommend 32 inches in order to have room to rest your elbows.) TOP LIFT PLATE: 12 by 18 inches, with piano hinge TOP FRONT (cutout): 22 by 13 inches (When I found that the arm rests were too short, rather than having the top done over, I got 2 boards [18" x 6" x1" ] and placed them on the arm rests with a clamp on each side. This allows me to move them up or down as needed, as well as having additional flexibility.) Suggestion: Get white wheels not black. -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD "Ask the Parkinson Dietitian" http://www.parkinson.org/ Author: "Eat well, stay well with Parkinson's disease" "Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy for Parkinson's disease" http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
