Wish You Could Get Around Better? Have You Tried Knee Walkers?

A knee walker might be something you have never heard of before, but I think once you begin to realize the benefits this product, you will start to wonder why you didn't buy one sooner! These knee walkers are an extraordinary alternative to using something like crutches. For the most part, crutches are incredibly torturous. Not only do you have to learn to walk with them, but they also hurt your hands, arms and your shoulders - why be in more pain when you are already having enough to deal with as is?!?

These are a scooter-like products in that they can be used either manually like manual wheelchairs, or they can be used with a motor - depending on which one you like better! You simply get on the device like you would a scooter or a wheelchair, and you flex your injured knee onto the padded surface, with your other leg you will "wheel" yourself around. Not only is it more comfortable, but it means you won't have to be on bed rest - which is impossible for some people!

Other products you could try out for better mobility in your house or outside are rolling walkers, rolling walker with seat, and a commode chair.
  • The commode chair is actually an excellent device for people that live at home alone, but still want to do things on their own - such as going to the restroom.
  • The rolling walkers, are somewhat like the old walkers they used to have in place. These walkers actually "roll" though with tiny little gliders on the bottom of the walkers.
These products make moving around less painful, and give you more mobility! Visit Top Notch Care and try them out today!

Is The Type Of Wheelchair Really Going To Matter?

Thankfully with this day and age you actually have an option when it comes to wheelchairs. The first option are the manual wheelchairs. These are obviously going to demand for you to wheel yourself, these are great if you have use of your arms, but no use of your legs or have a lot of upper body strength to wheel yourself around or have someone else wheel you around. A lot of folks use these at home as well because they come in a regular design as well as a slimmer design as well which is going to be a lot easier for you to get around in your own house without any help from anyone else.

The second option is a power or motorized wheelchair, these are obviously going to have controls so that you won't have to do any work. All you have to do is get on the chair, and turn the "wheel" to turn in different directions. I've seen a lot of older people bring these to places like grocery stores because they can't walk around on their own without any help. These also come in an array of designs and options - some of which even include baskets for your groceries or other items you may need to bring with you, but can't hold on your own.

Other helpful options are also available to you as well besides wheelchairs such as knee walkers, rolling walker with seat and even a commode chair.

These aren't just for senior citizens, they aren't just for people that have had accidents, and they aren't just for people that have mobility issues from diseases that cause neurological problems - they are for anyone that needs help getting around. This could be getting around your home, or the store, or to work, or anywhere else. Over time these products have become more and more innovative in not only how they are used and what they are made out of, but extra features as well that you probably wished they had added on years ago.

For example, with something like a commode chair, you no longer need a bedpan or other bathroom device. Now you can get up and go it on your own by either using a bedside commode chair, or a chair that actually help you get TO the bathroom. You also have various kinds of manual wheelchairs and auto wheelchairs as well. Some of these are specifically made with you the user in mind. They allow for packages to be carried on the wheelchair, different seat heights and designs, as well as different speeds as well.

These aren't as old school as they seem - in fact, these options will blow your other walker out of the water and across town.

Need Help Getting Or Going To The Bathroom? Try Commode Chairs

There are really so many different products available nowadays to help better suit people with disabilities. It doesn't matter if you have something like scoliosis, or you simply have joint pain and need help getting around. One of the options you might want to consider to help you get to the bathroom is going to be manual wheelchairs - these are chairs you will need to wheel on your own, but they can be quite the convenience when you have problems with every day things like going to the bathroom. The commode chair is also a great option for you as well.

This is simply a chair that includes a chamber pot. The chamber pot can either be enclosed - such as a commode chair for bedside use which can then be empties out later on, or it can be opened with wheels at the bottom of the chair. The chamber pot is "leveled" so that it's not as low as a regular toilet. This allows for leverage over the toilet, but also uses the wheels to actually get TO the toilet. This is just a really nice option for people that not only can't get to the bathroom on their own, but that also can't get down that low.

Also, available for convenience home items are a rolling walker with seat, rolling walkers without seats, manual wheelchair products and knee walkers all of these products are bound to make your life that much easier, even if you do have a disability.
