TAS Mobility Aids

Mobility Aids - Australian Directory of Mobility Aids

Mobility aids can help the aged, disabled or wheelchair bound continue to live a full life. These mobility vehicles might also be used for rehabilitation, recovery, handicapped people and sports medicine. This mobility equipment might consist of medical aids, patient aids, bariatric products, ergonomic equipment, wheeled walking aids, walkers, canes, manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, scooters, stairlifts, platformlifts, adjustable beds, recline chairs, powerchairs and height adjustable shower chairs.

There are a wide range of disabilities, which may require mobile assistance. The aged, elderly and senior citizens will generally lose a portion of their mobility due to weakened bones, muscles and ligaments. Their bodies simply won't heal as fast as younger people. If your grandfather has bad knees, feet or legs, he might need a mobility vehicle. With an electric wheelchair, he can keep up with the grandchildren. Some might want a stairlift because of bad knees. The height adjustable shower chairs help with bathing. Those who suffer from arthritis might purchase mobility equipment and get health advice too. If you struggle to get a full night sleep, you could purchase an adjustable bed - each side might be adjusted separately. Choose from indoor or outdoor models.

There is a wide variety of home health care equipment to help you function in your bedroom, bathroom or kitchen. You can also find incontinence, adult diapers, garments, stockings, first aid equipment and a variety of straps, belts and harnesses for safety. At some of these aged care stores, they might also have a pharmacy to deliver an all-in-one solution. Handyman services might also be listed under this category for those who cannot complete chores themselves. You may want to test drive a scooter before you purchase it. There are also technicians that can custom build or repair vehicles. Free delivery and installation might be available with some companies.

Some of the mobility brands to search for are Carliex, Donjoy, Drive, Guldmann, Hartmann, Heartway, Invacare, Jobst, K-Care, Lehner, Luggie, Magic Mobility, Peak Care, Pride, Shoprider and Stannah. You can determine if the company takes part in Ausmedic, Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA), Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS), WorkSafe, SWEP, Southern Cross Care, Jewish Care or Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
