There are many types of mobility equipment that can make life much easier and allowing you to maintain some of your independence. Some such mobility products include lift chairs, reclining chairs, power wheel chairs, regular wheel chairs, nursing beds, patient lifts and walkers. Anytime you purchase a mobility aid you need to make sure that you test it out and that it is comfortable and properly performs the needed function.
Lift chairs are used to help an individual when standing as many individuals with arthritis and back problems may have difficulties rising from a chair without any aid. A lift chairs will also recline using electricity so you can experience excellent leg and back support without putting any undo stress or strain on your back when trying to recline the chair. Just by flicking a switch the chair will slowly rise to the desired height so you can easily raise form the chair.
Scooters are becoming a very popular mobility product as the price is consistently decreasing. Scooters are slowly becoming the product of preference as they can be used both indoors and out of doors. Scooters are built to last, are very stable, comfortable and easy to use. There are a variety of models available so you will be sure to find one that meets your personal needs.
Powered wheel chairs can be very powerful and make moving about easy. The newer models all use captain's chairs which provide more comfort and easier steering then the traditional models. Wheel chairs should only be used indoors and can have a very tight turning radius making them very manoeuvrable. The speed of the wheel chair models will vary and can reach speeds of around 20 to 25 mph.
Walkers are still used as the individual may need help walking but is still mobile enough that they don't need to use a scooter or wheel chair. Walkers can easily be stowed for storage and travel as most are foldable and the majority comes with foldable seats and baskets for carrying items. The brakes are operated by the hands and can be locked into place when necessary.
A patient lift is typically used in hospitals and care facilities but may also be found in personal homes. This is used to help the patient raise themselves form a horizontal position and really can help with any movement of any kind. This is used for patients that have extremely limited mobility and do not have the strength to lift their torso or legs without help.
