Slowness of movement (bradykinesia - pronounced 'bray-dee kin-eesya') is one of the classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Over time, patients develop a stooped posture and a slow, shuffling walk. This gait gradually becomes erratic and unsteady, and may lead to falls.
Re: Skirt Board On Existing Stairs. Or....just lay a 1 X 12 on edge running up the stairs, resting on the tips of the treads. Scribe down to the treads the right amount to make it line up with your 4-1/4 base. Use a framing square to mark for riser cuts. Then if the risers are angled back as they sometimes are in a carpeted situation, scribe the skirt board back after it has been scribed down. This will usually require that 2 boards be connected together to cover the entire length of the stairs.
5. Pin the cloth measuring tape to the chair fabric at the height of the top of the skirt, using your cardboard template. If your chair is being slipcovered, put the unfinished slipcover on the chair before pinning the tape. Space pins 1 to 2 inches apart.or a tailored skirt, add 6 inches to allow for small seams at the corners and back. For a pleated skirt, add 8 inches for each pair of corner pleats and 1 inch for a closing seam. For a multi-pleated or gathered skirt, allow twice the measured length.
