Assignment:

Imagine you're a PT aide working at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital under the supervision of PT Lisa Ebb. Lisa has asked you to assist with a patient (Mr. Miller) experiencing motor (movement) symptoms of PD. Mr. Miller shuffles when he walks, his left arm swings less while walking, and he's starting to lose his balance more frequently. At this point, he does not use an assistive device.

• What type of ambulation aid would you expect Lisa to first prescribe for Mr. Miller?

• Why do you think this was selected as the first ambulation aid?
