A question was asked about the suitability of wheeled walkers
for PD folks.  The regular walkers with wheels are flimsy looking.
At the apartment complex where my mothers lives I see some people
with very sturdy looking three wheeled walkers.  The single wheel
is in front, there are hand brakes on each handle, a seat to sit
on and a basket for carrying things....the "pushers" I talked to
said they felt safe with these walkers.  I don't know if any of
the pushers had PD; arthritis and stroke were my amateur diagnosis.
