I fell alot too. I had physical therapy after I was diagnosed with Parkinsons and had three really bad falls. The first fall sent me to rehab, the second, to the emergency room, and the last during covid, home with a physical and an occupational therapist. My OT who has worked with our local Parkinsons associations suggested I ask my Parkinsons Doctor to prescribe a walker created for Parkinsons patients . The U-Step Walking Stabilizer. Medicare covers it. I did have a co-pay of just over $200. It is stable, turns in a smaller space, and is easy to grab onto. I haven't fallen since I started using it! I won't say I haven't lost my balance but it has saved me every time.

My husband had a very nice Drive Medical walker. We had to move closer to medical care. We were in the emergency room every month with a different fall. It was crazy until a PT recommended a U-Step walker! It has made all the difference in the world! It is expensive so look into insurance coverage to pay for it first. GOD BLESS YOU!❤️

My rule of thumb is “don't learn how to fall learn how not to fall".When a fall is about to happen look around and observe your surroundings. As you fall avoid anything that might cause an injury. When you fall try to "roll with the fall." If you watch an NFL football game notice the player anticipates first where he's going to fall. He will begin 🙂 start the roll before actually falling. Sounds pretty complicated but "practice makes perfect."

I also have this walker and it has saved me many times! My OT person has worked with me for over a year now and between the U-Step walker and the OT, I am falling far less! Like I said before in a post, if you have the Big and Loud program in your area, it is well worth doing! My Ot person had never heard of it before I showed her a DVD on the program. She then took the course and became certified in it and that has worked wonders with falling.

What about checking into a wonderful program in your area titled: The Big and Loud program? It helpe me lots when ai lived in Florida. Then, when I moved back to NH I spoke to the OT person who. Was supposed to work with me in my home. She had never heard of it ...so ai showed her a video I had purchased on the exercises that the program uses?
