Mobility Aids
In recent years & with the advent of new technology mobility aids have improved greatly benefiting the disabled & elderly. Developments include mobility scooters, stairlifts, adjustable beds, walk in baths & riser chairs.
Mobility scooters have given greater independence allowing people how historically relied on another person to help then get out & about; can now move round their home & outside freely. With three & four wheel scooters, varying in speed mobility scooters are ideal for most day to day tasks.
Walk in baths are another excellent example of a mobility aid which reinstalls independence. A walk in bath means you do not have to climb in & out of a bath, but simply open the door walk in & fill the bath. When finishes, drain & walk out.
Adjustable beds have also improved in recent years given both medical & comfort improvements. A fully adjustable bed will adjust to suit most needs whether improving the position of the bed to help relieve medical conditions such as back pain, or simply to watch TV in comfort.
If the climbing the stairs is become a chore then the installation of a stairlift can greatly help. Historically if you could not climb the stairs maybe you would have to sleep downstairs or even move homes. Now a stairlift can resolve this problem.
If getting in & out or your chairs is hard work a riser recliner chair can help. The chair will lower you to a sitting position then rise to a near standing position to help you exit the chair. Some chairs have adjustable positions to help you achieve a comfortable sitting position.
