Well, I have another. A friend with PD maintains that they can walk backwards easier than they can walk forwards sometimes. If this helps to break a freeze (and you have a handy guide or a clear pathway) then why not try it? I also remember reading (from this List I am sure) that if you are having trouble with small cramped writing, that if you write the letters from bottom to top and from right to left instead of the normal way - that is, reversing them, then you can make a good big letter (printing is best for this) Bob tried this when we were having to label boxes (on our last move) and it worked really well, especially for a few critical words. We showed this writing technique to a PD specialist OT in Melbourne and she was amazed and delighted and kept the sample of Bob's work! Fooling the brain again... Cheers Joy Graham
