12 Useful Home Tools for People living with Parkinson’s

Living with Parkinson’s disease can be quite exhausting. This condition is draining and the associated symptoms often lead to a deterioration in quality of life.

However, medications and other treatments, including GONDOLA AMPS, can help maintain a good quality of life by treating Parkinson’s symptoms.

In particular, GONDOLA provides benefits for symptoms where other therapies have not succeeded, such as Freezing, bradykinesia, and motor blocks.

Beyond these therapies, we would like to highlight some helpful tools to keep at home to make domestic life easier for those with Parkinson’s.

Bathroom

  • Foam Tubes Easily slipped onto everyday objects like hairbrushes and toothbrushes, foam tubes offer users a firmer grip, making daily cleaning easy and quick.
  • Electric Razor Parkinson’s symptoms like dyskinesia and tremors can make daily tasks like shaving difficult or dangerous. An electric razor is a simple change that can speed up a morning routine and prevent nicks and cuts.

Living Room

  • Grabbing Tools Ergonomically designed to mimic two-handed grabbing, these manual grabbing tools allow users to reach high or low, small or large items around the home without stretching or bending, thus reducing the risk of falls.
  • Touch Lamps Table lamps with touch systems help avoid struggling with tricky switches. Simply tap the bases lightly to control light emission and achieve the desired brightness, making it easier to adjust for bedtime.

Kitchen

  • Plate Guard Plate guards can be gently mounted on ordinary plates to aid those who must eat with one hand or have an unstable grip. The inward slopes help scoop food and prevent spills.
  • Customized Cutlery Electronic stabilizing handles are specifically designed to help people with hand tremors. The utensils are custom-made to counteract the effect of the tremor and have integrated sensors and motors to combat the shaking.
  • Kettle Pouring Support Preparing your morning “cup of tea” has never been easier with kettle baskets that help users pour boiling water without lifting the kettle, reducing the risk of spills. The frames wrap comfortably around the kettle and are secured with a sturdy Velcro strap.

Bedroom

  • Book Holder For those who have difficulty holding a book steady, consider a book holder for a more comfortable reading experience. Simply clip the book and adjust the angle for use in bed or at a desk.
  • Button and Zipper Hook You can find many easy-to-use, low-cost hooks that help with buttoning and zipping up while dressing and undressing.
  • Elastic Shoelaces Get out the door faster in the morning by turning lace-up shoes into slip-ons. Elastic laces eliminate the need to bend down and tie and untie shoes before leaving home.

Studio

  • RollerMouse A wireless RollerMouse is a unique mouse that sits directly in front of the keyboard, and the cursor can be moved by lightly touching the rollerbars. Users can switch control from one hand to the other in case of fatigue – improving accuracy and increasing the time spent online comfortably.
  • Keyguards Keyguards are covers placed over the keys on a standard keyboard and prevent people with hand tremors from hitting unintended keys while typing. While it slows down typing speed, it improves accuracy and comfort.
