Walking with care

Post date: Nov 25, 2014 11:23:02 AM

Parkinson's disease can disturb your sense of balance, making it difficult to walk with a normal gait. These suggestions may help:

• Try not to move too quickly.
• Aim for your heel to strike the floor first when you're walking.
• If you notice yourself shuffling, stop and check your posture. It's best to stand up straight with your head over your hips and your feet eight to 10 inches apart.
