Episode description

People with Parkinson’s have a 2-9 times increased risk of falls than a healthy person of the same age. This can be due to freezing of gait which occurs in about 40% of patients on average. Do you experience times where you just can’t move, can’t just take the next step for short or longer periods of time?  Let’s explore why and how you can help yourself without necessarily increasing or adding medications. In this episode, we will hear from the inventor of an innovative device to help with freezing and falling as well as a PD patient who uses it to maintain his active lifestyle.
