ACTIVATOR® Knockout Rock Steady Boxing Poles

There are currently 19 independent studies on the ACTIVATOR® Poles at hospitals and universities in Canada and the renowned Royal Orthopedic Hospital in London, UK.

Here are some potential advantages of using ACTIVATOR® Knockout Rock Steady Boxing Poles for individuals with Parkinson's disease:

Improvement in Gait and Balance: Parkinson's disease often affects gait and balance, leading to shuffling steps and an increased risk of falls. ACTIVATOR® Poles can provide external support and stability, helping individuals to walk with a more normalized gait pattern and reduce the risk of falls.

Increased Upper Body Strength: The use of ACTIVATOR® Poles requires engaging the muscles in the upper body, including arms, shoulders, and core. Regular use of the poles during walking can help improve upper body strength and endurance, which can be beneficial for people with Parkinson's disease, as they may experience weakness and reduced mobility.

Enhanced Posture and Alignment: The poles encourage an upright posture while walking, which can help counteract the forward-leaning posture that is common in Parkinson's disease. Improved alignment can lead to better overall body mechanics and a reduction in musculoskeletal discomfort.

Rhythmic Walking: The repetitive rhythm of using ACTIVATOR® Poles during walking can act as an external cue to facilitate a more consistent and rhythmic gait. This can be particularly helpful for individuals with Parkinson's, as the disease may affect rhythm and coordination.

Increased Confidence and Independence: The added stability and support provided by the poles can increase confidence in individuals with Parkinson's disease, allowing them to walk more independently and participate in daily activities with reduced fear of falling.

Outdoor Mobility: ACTIVATOR® Poles are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, making them versatile tools for maintaining mobility and participating in physical activities, such as walking in parks or on uneven terrain.
