Im cleaning. house I have filed, "gait" to my folder. But I'll add my recent experience: GAIT has always been a problem. my doctor would like me to take "giant steps."..but how can I at 4 feet 11 3/4 inches.? Small stride, timid sometimes faltering steps I guess it looks as though I could keel over any minute. It feels that way sometimes too. BUT,since I have been swimming 3 x week if possibe, I walk the line between lanes, forward and backward, taking large steps and respondig to impending falls by balancing with my arms and torso.. Believe it or not...this swimming practice session has given me a new skill. Recently, under the most tricky, almost-fall conditions, I have unwittingly jerked backwaving arms and avoided the FALL. That's it. maybe it's worth something (Don't look at the time I am writing this) [log in to unmask] and Parkinsn select group.
