Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
You can consider a large pen which should be easy to manipulate with his hands. Grab bars are definitely helpful. Make sure to get socks that are made with plastic on the bottom to avoid slipping. Remove all rugs from the home. You should consider treatment with deep brain stimulation, which is a surgical implant but very very effective.
