Recommended Helpful Gadgets for Parkinson's Patients

1. Walking aids

The proper fit is important in selecting a walking aid, as the height needs to support a proper posture. Straight canes work better for people with PD than tripod or quad canes.
For walkers, four-wheeled walkers or rollator offer better stability for people with PD rather than those that need to be lifted. For people with late stage PD, a wheelchair or electric scooter might be needed to get around.

Multipurpose mobile transfer chair

2. Eating Utensils

3. Help in the Bathroom

4. Anti Slip

- Anti slip flooring
- Nurse call button
- Gripsox - Some feedback from physios and OT's about GripSox and Parkinson's clients has been that the socks are often beneficial as individuals have found it easier to clear the floor when walking, as the socks are lighter on their feet compared to wearing shoes. They also still benefit from some grip to prevent slipping. Again though, I recommend to make sure each individual is suitably assessed as a safety precaution.

5. Help in the Bedroom

6. Fall Detection Devices

7. Cognitive Stimulation Devices

it is easier to use than a typical tablet-More space to press buttons if the Parkinson's person hands shake or show tremor
And the cognitive games help to keep the mind active and people with Parkinson's are more likely to have problems with cognition. The cognitive games can help with brain stimulation.
