Bedroom Equipment

People with Parkinson's should keep their bedroom free of clutter to help prevent falls. Keeping shoes and other small objects off the floor, especially at night, can help prevent falls. The bedroom should be large enough to allow access to the bed, closet, dresser, and doors. Removing casters from furniture is also recommended since objects that roll provide unstable hand holds. Special equipment can be used in the bedroom to help increase independence and safety.
