Mobility equipment is designed to help you go about your daily life where once it might have been difficult or even impossible. While mobility equipment cannot completely transform your life it can help make many actions much easier then they once were. Some common mobility equipment products include reclining chairs, self propelled wheel chairs, nursing beds, walkers, lift chairs, power wheel chairs and patient lifts.

Lift chairs are used to make it easier to go from a sitting position to a standing position. Many times individuals with back problems or arthritis may find it very difficult to perform this action without assistance. The lift chair will rise up to a position that makes it very easy for the sitter to stand. Most lift chairs also will be powered to recline so you can provide your back and feet with the correct support when sitting.

Scooters are great mobility items as the allow you to remain independent and you can participate in many activities that you love. Scooters have the advantage over powered wheel chairs as they can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are very sturdy and comfortable and provide excellent balance and stability when riding. Scooters are available in many different models and you will be sure to find one that meets your specifications.

Powered wheel chairs can make moving around your home very easy and convenient. The newest powered chairs use a captain's chair that can even recline so there is no need to get into and out of the chair when you want to relax or watch TV. The most recent chairs have a very tight turning radius, which makes them very maneuverable and the fastest speeds that can be reached in a wheel chair are up to 20 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.
