Humans are always multi-tasking. In Parkinson’s disease this can lead to falls, fractures and injury.
Pay attention to your feet when walking.
Pay attention to street curbs and be extra careful making steps up and down.
Do not talk on your phone and walk and don’t text and walk.
Watch out for small spaces like closets, kitchens and bathrooms— especially in areas where you may need to make sharp turns in direction.
