Aktywne życie z chorobą Parkinsona
Summarized by Dr. Agnes Coutinho MSc PhD
Health professionals are recommending the ACTIVATOR℗ Poles for Parkinson’s clients as research studies clearly show walking with poles is an effective, safe and enjoyable physical activity*. Physical activities, such as walking with poles, may improve motor skills, balance and gait quality, as well as supporting mental health. Clients with Parkinson’s and participants of Parkinson’s-specialized programs agree, and report that, using the ACTIVATOR℗ Poles promotes greater independence and improves quality of life.
ACTIVATOR Poles have even helped our customers such as Harry McMurtry participate in Walk Events with Parkinson's associations.

"Game Changer" according to Harry McMurtry who used ACTIVATOR Poles on his 500 Miles for Parkinson’s.
I was steered to use the Activators by my Parkinson’s physiotherapist and I am very pleased that she did. My gait has improved and I have reduced my time to complete my walks by some 30-50%, so now I am focusing on going greater distance. My therapist has remarked that I am no longer shuffling.

I have noticed an unbelievable change in my Parkinson’s clients – their confidence increases as soon as they have the poles in their hands, they walk taller and straighter and it has been a great tool for gait retraining in terms of increasing their stride and walking tolerance. The best part is that they started smiling during our sessions!
