General Mobility Aid Information

General Mobility Aid Info

Choosing the right mobility aid for you depends on more than what meets the eye. Maybe your doctor or insurance provider gave you a simple pair of crutches to use for your rehabilitation, or you got a walker to help your balance. Can you be certain that it’s really your best option? Many times, people are using something they consider cumbersome, difficult, or just plain painful, but they don’t know there are other options.

Walkers

Walkers Info

From standard walkers to 3 wheel rollators, walkers come in many shapes and sizes. Choosing the best walker for you can mean balancing a number of considerations, and you may not know where to start. But you don't have to be an expert on ambulatory aids to find the one you need - that's what we're here for.

Rollators

Rollator Info

Simply put, a rollator is a walker with a wheel at the bottom of each leg. They can be 3 or 4 wheeled and most have some kind of a pouch or basket to carry your things. Rollators are perfect for long trips or for those who don’t want to be slowed down by their mobility equipment.

Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs Info

Standard wheelchairs are designed with large wheels so that you can propel yourself, while transport wheelchairs have small wheels and are meant to be pushed from behind by a second person. Beyond that, things get a little more complicated.

Canes

Canes Info

One of the first things to consider when choosing a cane is just what type of cane you would like to use. Standard canes, or single-tip canes, are those with only one cane tip that touches the ground. Quad canes, also called quad-point canes, broadbased canes, or four legged canes, are built to be sturdier and feature four cane tips.
