If your loved on has been injured during a fall I have an idea that worked for my dear wife Sharyn (1947-2014). We opted to use a Transport Chair to move her about our home. After all there isn't much exercise to be gained by having a patient walk with a walker from room to room. You can get more benefit by exercising them while in bed or a chair and prevent falls. I just couldn't justify the risk of a bad fall for my wife. I have a friend with PSP who fell, hit his head, and had a brain bleed as a result. Ask yourself "is it really worth letting them walk when the cost could be very high?". IMHO Jimbo
