A Gripper Stick
One of the most frustrating aspects of having limited mobility is not being able to do things for yourself. This could be something as simple as picking something up off the floor that has been dropped or reaching something that has been put up high on the cupboard. A gripper stick can help those who need it reach high or low without them having to extend their body, so they can grab the item they need by themselves without causing any strain to themselves in the process.
“Many would like to lead a simpler life if it wasn’t so complicated to reach that state.” – Justus Jonas
Accessible Vehicles
It is paramount that society continues to create adaptable solutions for those who have limited mobility or disabilities, so they can continue to live a life like many others. Being able to buy an accessible car is a testament to technology that should continue to thrive.
There are many different accessible vehicles on the market now that can help those with limited mobility, such as cars that have space for wheelchairs, cars that allow wheelchairs to move around freely inside, and cars that have been specially adapted so those with limited mobility can still drive independently. This can help people with poor mobility keep their autonomy and freedom, which is essential for good mental health. For more information on these amazing vehicles, head over to alliedmobility.com.

A Roller Walker Seat (Rollator)
A roller walker is an innovative piece of kit that can aid those with limited mobility to walk supported. The wheels allow them a slow and smooth movement without them having to lift anything to move that can also be unsteady. Not only that, but there is also an inbuilt seat with brakes, which means that someone can take a rest at any point without having to find a seat. This can be freeing in terms of helping people continue to walk and keep the mobility they have rather than sitting down indefinitely in a wheelchair which can encourage less walking.
These are just a few great aids that can help those with limited mobility, and there are many more you can check out to help yourself or your loved ones make life a little easier.
