Thank you for your research and presentation Alvaro. Using assistive devices is an important area and as your review shows, not straight forward. I am wondering if in your research you have come across the use of ‘Urban Poles’ designed by a Canadian OT. These are used similar to Nordic walking, pole in each hand, from my reading and personal experience they seem to help with posture, stride length, speed and arm swing. Any comments on these?
Thanks,
Tiana
