How to keep going with limited mobility
Innovative solutions for the mobility impaired
There are a range of mobility solutions available to ensure your loved ones can continue to live seamlessly and safely. They can be divided into categories like products, technology and services.
Mobility products are designed to help people with limited mobility to move around with ease. These include wheelchairs, different kinds of canes, crutches, different kinds of walkers, mobility scooters, etc, and different kinds of adjustments to vehicles to accommodate folder wheelchairs or people seated on their wheelchairs. Mobility impairment could be temporary or permanent, and depending on your needs, you can choose an aid that takes care of you the best.
Wheelchairs, whether manual or electric, help people to move from one place to another. They have come a long way in terms of quality and features and can be customized to specific requirements such as weight, height and seating quality. It is important to pick a wheelchair type that is suited to one’s needs as all people using wheelchairs do not share the same level of disability. On the other hand, walkers are a great aid for people who can walk but need continuous support to do so. Designed with a four-leg frame, walkers are usually a good option for people suffering from age-related mobility issues, and are too frail to use a walking stick.
Other products include crutches, canes and walking sticks, which are of different kinds and suited to varying levels of mobility. They also come with features like height adjustability, foldability and foldable seats as well. For the home, you can install a range of mobility accessories to ensure your safety. Grab bars in bathrooms and strategic parts of the house, stair lifts, access ramps, and even hoists can be very helpful in this regard.
A lot of new tech is introduced almost every day for the empowerment of persons with disabilities. From accessible devices with easy-to-use programmes like speech to text or intelligent wheelchairs that can sense blocks or barriers, there is a lot out there of fabulous use. Robot vacuum cleaners can help you keep your home spic and span, while smart home assistants can enable you to do anything at home without necessarily moving about much.
Services include mobility assistance in various forms. Nurses and companion caregivers provide help and relief through emotional support, medical management, housekeeping, running errands, encouraging socialization and various physical and mental stimuli to be active, and help during transportation. Mobility solutions providers cover these and more – they provide wheelchair friendly taxis, for example, wheelchairs on rent, physical therapists on call, and even mobility friendly tours.
