There is a great site, www.polesformobiity.com, which gives a short tutorial video on the many benefits of walking with poles for exercise. Also on the site there are recommendations on understanding poles and what kind to purchase, great tips.

I met a gentlemen a few years back who was using poles and he told me that without them he would not be able to walk upright like he did. He had spinal stenosis and the poles have made all the difference in the world to him.

The poles are excellent for someone with Parkinson's, MS, Alzheimers, Vertigo, Spinal Stenosis, or any kind of brain disorder or balance concerns.
