Mobility Product Buying Guide

Need a little boost?

Is getting up and down from a chair more difficult lately? An Uplift Power Seat works on your favorite chair. Plug it in and with the flick of a lever, up you go. For assistance getting out of vehicles, try the Deluxe Swivel Seat Cushion; it swivels 360 degrees. The CouchCane is adjustable and gives added support when getting up from the sofa or recliner.

To boost your exercise program, mobility products like the Resistance Chair allow for a complete workout while seated. Resistance cables and a wide range of exercises maintain mobility and improve muscle and joint strength as well as flexibility and balance.

Walking about

Unsteady and fear falling? The PathLighter Cane steadies you and lights up the path. Try a folding walking cane; it easily packs in a tote bag when not in use. Walking canes are available with an attached seat and a variety of finishes, in tall and extra-sturdy models. Hand-painted designer walking canes are great for accessorizing.

Four-point Base Quad Canes with offset handle offer more support and adjust for right- or left-handed users. A heavy-duty quad walking cane can be made to height and weight specifications.

Walkers/rollators come with padded seats, wheels, and activated breaks. There are folding models, extra-wide, and height-adjustable models, as well as a model for those able to use only one arm or hand. Accessories include gliders, baskets, trays, and cup holders.

Scootin' along

Get moving with a mobility scooter. Cruise indoors or outdoors at 4-5 mph on three- or four-wheel models, with cruising ranges from 15-20 miles. Each style offers flat-free tires and carrying baskets.

Looking for a transport chair? Choose from shower seat and commode transport chairs to folding transport chairs that easily load into vehicles. Lightweight aluminum frames, 8-in. wheels, swing-away footrests and padded armrests make transportation easy.
