Report on walking cane
Parkinson patients support organization-Ethiopia implementing a walking cane project to support its members
Parkinson disease is a movement disorder disease. Parkinson patients suffered from walking problems, loss of balance, freezing, falling down, and other movement-l problems. to improve the problem Parkinson patients used walking aids such as a walking stick. Like other Parkinson patients, our members also used sticks However, they usually use ordinary sticks that are not calibrated for this purpose. The ordinary sticks can’t protect much from falling. In most cases, they decrease their movement. Realized their problem, Parkinson patient support organization Ethiopia with the fund obtained from GlobalGiving, distributed calibrated walking cane to its members. Using a proper walking cane improves their movement. One beneficiary gives us the following comment.
My name is Tamrat before getting p proper cane support from the organization, I used a short stick and it didn’t help much Instead It makes me bend and falling down.
After I get the support my movement is improved even manage I go to church. Thank you for your support.
