Mobility Scooter Products Can Make Life Easier

Mobility scooters are specifically designed for individuals who have problems with moving around as much as they like to, especially when it comes to activities such as walking up hills or down hills or walking long distances,. This is where the mobility scooter comes into play by making your life easier allowing you to do all the activities and errands you used to do before.

This is essentially the alternative to something like an electric wheelchair in that these scooters are much more sleek in the way that they are designed, whereas options like manual wheelchairs and motorized wheelchairs are often clunkier. Although, I have seen slimmer motorized scooters appear over time more and more! The newer mobility scooters offer the ability to not only "drive" indoors, but over various types if outside terrain as well. There are also many accessories and options you can choose for your scooter as well such as baskets, oxygen carriers, headlights, decals and canopies which are nice if you get caught in the rain or it's a really sunny day out!

Other innovative mobility products also include knee walkers, manual wheelchairs, rolling walkers with casters or wheels, rolling walker with seat for those instances when you need to sit down and the commode chair which is good for individuals that simply cannot get to or go to the restroom the same way they used to.

How Exactly Do Rolling Walkers Work?

There are actually two types of walkers, those that move with casters or wheels, and those that do not. If you have a really hard time "picking" up the walker and shuffling it as you walk, then the rolling walkers will be the best option for you. These are quite easy to use for just about anyone - even children! The process is simple; the person using the walker will walk in unison with the frame of the walker, this walker will surround their front and sides which provides maximum support. You the user will also hold onto the sides of the roller frame for extra added support.

As mentioned above, usually the walker is placed a few centimeters or inches in front of the person, you would then shuffle or walk towards the frame. Rinse and repeat. However, with the use of wheels you can actually "glide" to your destination as opposed to picking it up and moving it on your own. This specific product is a great option for people that have little use of their arms or have no strength in their arms. Also, these rolling walkers are fantastic for people that are recuperating from back or leg injuries as well.

So as you can see this is actually something YOU could do whether you do or don't have a lot of strength. We also offer a variety of other mobility and helpful products such as assistive furniture, manual wheelchair, mobility scooters and various types of rolling walkers (two, three or four wheeled). At Top Notch Care you can expect the best and only the best products for all your needs!
