Accessories for people with reduced mobility: everything you need to know before buying one

 Having personal autonomy is one of the elements that every human being requires to enjoy a good quality of life. Surely there are those who think that the quality of life is shaped by our environment or our economic possibilities, but if you think about it carefully, you will realize that being able to mobilize yourself without the help of another person is very important to achieve a good quality of life.

A person with reduced mobility has difficulties in carrying out basic tasks such as taking a shower or using the toilet, now imagine how much it costs him to carry out more complex and equally necessary activities, such as going to work; it is not that he cannot do them, but that he requires collaboration. Fortunately, there is now a wide variety of accessories on the market for people with reduced mobility, including wheelchairs, crutches, scooters, walkers, electric beds, access ramps, electric lift  sling, etc.

The aim of using accessories of this type is to ensure that people with reduced mobility obtain independence and safety, as they make it possible to compensate, control, mitigate or neutralise limitations in the activities carried out. If you are interested in acquiring an accessory for people with reduced mobility, I recommend that you keep the following factors in mind before buying or renting it.

What should you consider before buying an accessory for people with reduced mobility?

  • The needs of the person who will use the accessory.
  • The activities for which the product will be used (moving around the house, going to the beach or the mountains, getting up, as a support for using the toilet, among others).
  • The materials with which the accessory is made (we all look for comfort, quality and durability).
  • That it is an easy to use accessory.
  • Dimensions and appearance: we must not leave aside personal tastes when selecting an accessory of this type, as well as the dimensions it has. It must be adapted to the spaces in which the person who will use it moves.
  • Buying or renting? If the need to use an accessory for people with reduced mobility is temporary (due to an accident or an illness that does not allow you to move around 100%), renting one of these products is an option that can help you, instead of buying it.

To acquire accessories for people with reduced mobility, you should trust only the experts, which is why I recommend that you go to Maison André Viger.
