The Importance of Fall Alarms on World Parkinson’s Day
World Parkinson’s Day takes place on the 11th of April every year and April marks Parkinson’s Awareness Month. Parkinson’s disease or PD can be described as a neurological disorder affecting movement that develops gradually over time. The symptoms can include stiffness or the slowing of movement, difficulty with balance and coordination, and problems with speech and writing. Luckily there is support out there in the form of charity groups, online communities and assistive technology. The importance of fall alarms on World Parkinson’s Day cannot be underestimated as it is another form of vital support for loved ones and families.
Parkinson’s is the second most common neurodegenerative condition after Alzheimer’s. There are approximately 15,000 people living with Parkinson’s in Ireland.
