Arthritis Wheelchairs
More than 40 million people suffer from some form of Arthritis in the United States. Many have chronic pain that typically occurs in joints on both sides of the body (such as hands, wrists or knees). Those who suffer from arthritis are limited to daily activity and may need mobility aids such as crutches, walking sticks or wheelchairs. It’s hard for some to accept that they need the help of scooters or walking frames, but it’s an aid to help with regular day-to-day living rather than a sign of weakness.An occupational therapist or physiotherapist can advise on the best equipment for your needs and whether any help is available from social services. You can also check with your insurance company to see if you are eligible for discounted scooters or you can check around to get a good deal on wholesale scooters for a good price.
If you would like more information on the different types of walking aids and power wheelchairs available, contact your health care provider for more information.
