Throwback to last summer filling my RAV4 with rollators for my patients to test out.

I continue to love rollators more and more, for the community access and independence they can provide.

And I absolutely love how many different ones exist on the market right now. Some are better on uneven surfaces. Some focus more on style, others comfort.

If you're in need of a rollator, there's probably one out there for you.

If you have a rollator right now and like your model, comment it below!

Everyone always tells you to push from the chair with both hands.

And that’s usually correct.

But for some people, that transition to the walker can feel scary.

I’m a big fan of the “one-in-one” technique for the right client. It can make all the difference.

These winter weeks make it tough for a lot of people to get the care they need.

This is one of the most common ways to get on and off the ground.

There are lots of different floor transfer techniques. No matter which one you use, it's important to keep that technique strong and fresh 💪

This is not medical advice: always consult your PT/OT or doctor on which exercises and floor transfer techniques are best for you individually.

Love seeing people get after it in public.
If standing up is hard, bang out your sit-to-stand reps.

Check with your PT or doctor first. Not medical advice.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be partnering with Magnes AG, a Swiss company, to help more people with Parkinson's in Pittsburgh try out their NUSHU X smart shoes.

These shoes are designed to help people with Parkinson's break out of freezing and shuffling episodes using timed vibrational cues that sync with where the foot is in the gait cycle. Some people respond extremely well to this kind of external cueing — others don’t — which is why trialing them first is so important.

Starting this winter, I’ll be hosting monthly free trial days in the South Hills where individuals can come in, walk with the shoes, and see firsthand whether they’re a responder or non-responder.

If you or someone you know might be interested in testing them out, feel free to message me and I’ll send more information. Or call (412) 423-5572.

Best,
- Dr. Chuck

I’m an affiliate of KERDOM and earn commissions.

Use code “DC200” for $200 off your purchase.

This is the DX05 Pro by KERDOM — an all-terrain power wheelchair designed to get you outside. I tested it on grass, gravel, uneven surfaces, and some legitimately rough terrain. It handled most of it really well. A few spots where it got stuck, but overall it did great and definitely expands where you can go.

It comes with a seat belt, has solid power, and feels stable and comfortable.

Important note: it’s on the heavier side (50+ lbs), so keep that in mind if you’ll be lifting it into a car. KERDOM does make lighter-weight power chairs if portability is your priority, so check out their website to compare options.

Not medical advice — always check with your PT or OT to see if a device like this is right for you.

This is the Beasy Board - a premium transfer board with a sliding disc that lets you move with the disc instead of dragging your skin across the board like a traditional transfer/sliding board.

There are 3 different models designed for all kinds of transfers — car, toilet, bed, wheelchair, and more.

This is not medical advice. Always check with your PT or OT to see if a mobility device is right for you.

I am an affiliate of Beasy and earn commissions. If you want 10% off, use code “Chuck10” at checkout👍
