April 19, 2024- April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, a time to shine a spotlight on a condition that affects millions worldwide, according to Dynarex. One of the most pressing challenges for individuals with Parkinson’s is the increased risk of falls due to impaired balance and mobility. Falls not only pose physical risks but also contribute to fear, anxiety, and a loss of independence. But by implementing appropriate safety measures and mobility aids, the risk of falls can be reduced.
Some tools that can enhance safety and independence for those with Parkinson’s Disease include fall prevention alarms, bathing and grooming aids, mobility aids, dining aids, bedroom safety, and dressing aids. By incorporating adaptive strategies into daily life, individuals with Parkinson’s can navigate their environment with greater confidence and independence.
