Here at a seminar on PD, we supplied in the information kit one surgical glove per person. We then requested everyone who was not a PD sufferer to wear the glove during the mornng tea break on their dominant hand (i.e. right hand if you were right-handed, left hand otherwise on their left hand). They were then requsted to not use the gloved hand at all during the tea-break, and during the rest of the morning session. You should have seen the kerfuffle, with people trying to eat a cake and balance a cup of tea at the same time, trying to take notes with their non-dominant hand, shakinh hands with their right hand before realising that they should have used their non-dominant hand, etc. You might think this a silly, frivolous exercise, but it got home to most people tthat people with PD suffer a range of movement disabilities which are not experienced by the average person.
