On the topic of medical issues, is there an official name for the hand/arm motions of elderly people (not naming a prominent politician as an example) where they walk with their hands forward like they are carrying an invisible walker or bracing themselves for a fall? I caught myself doing that the other day, and want to know what it is to do my homework before an upcoming doctor appointment in a few weeks.....

Bring your doctor the above description and an in person demonstration; and don't let the talk of PD and dementia put you off, there are other benign explanations (if you followed us all around with a camera, most everybody has done that at some time; and what you describe is not really a festinating gait so don't go google crazy on that term).
