Tips to stop me walking with hands in my pockets

For long walks I use walking poles.
For walking round town etc I walk with my hands in my pockets to support myself and walk at less than a snail's pace. This is not a good thing to do. Any suggestions to help me stop doing this

And, here is an article with some helpful devices: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/living-with-pd/assistive-devices. I hope this is useful for you. Jill (Team Member)
