Anyone Use Forearm Crutches And Are They Easier On Balance Issue Days You Want To Still Be Mobile?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have days when both my legs act stiff and difficult to walk. Walking seems to help elevated the pain some but I am unsteady on these days also my cane hand does seem as strong either. Would forearm crutches make walking safer than using a cane on these days?

On my bad days I must admit that I use a wheelchair. I have orthostatic hypotension.
