With regard to the `Falling Too Often` series of messages, does the following offer any help: The Lancet, vol. 347 May 11, 1996 p.1337 reports on a German experiment with 22 PD patients using a metronome (set at 96 beats per minute) to assist walking. Patients took longer steps and were quicker over a 40m course.The number of freezing episodes was also reduced. Several patients expressed interest is using a small electronic metronome for daily use for such activities as crossing roads. Hope this might be of some help. Roy Edwards ([log in to unmask])
