> It's actually a humorous and instructive way to describe it. Yes, one that stuck in my mind at least even after so many years. We were told that during my physiotherapy training whilst decomposing the walk movements and it is true. Learning to fall properly is a good idea but unfortunately one would have to keep up with it all one“s life so it becomes a reflex and an automatism. Automatic movements remain a long time in PD but most of the time, people did judo or other such sports in their youth or young adulthood and this falling reflex has gone by the time they have PD. And you don“t always fall where you have enough space, like in a dojo. John for a long time felt comfortable with 2 canes, the outdoor hiking type which help keep a normal movement. People always walks better on their own rather then “helped“ by someone who tends to push-restrain rather then really help.Then he had to have a walker indoors and the Ustep was the best choice. maryse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
