Mobility

The importance of mobility

Mobility is very important for people in terms of freedom, self-sufficiency and independence. People want to be able to get around to run an errand or pay a visit, for example. Yet, mobility is not self-evident for everyone, and can be hindered and restricted by various causes. That’s why PhysioSupplies offers numerous tools to remedy these limitations and increase mobility.

Walking aids

There are several options for extra support while walking: a stool, walking stick, walking frame or walker. The Able2 stools are easily adjustable in height and the armrests can also be adjusted to the desired height. Special crutches are furthermore available for children, one of which is the Able2 and the Thuasne.

Walking sticks are available in many different shapes, sizes and colours as well as with different specifications and extras. Able2 and Hugo also offer foldable walking sticks, allowing you to easily store the walking stick when it’s not needed. Walking frames or walkers provide more support than a walking stick and offer just that little bit more security. In addition to increasing mobility and daily exercise, a walking frame can also be used for rehabilitation. As with the walking sticks, there are also foldable walkers, ensuring easy storage.

A rollator makes it a lot easier to move around for people with mobility problems. Although the rollator is intended for walking, it also contains a seat. The user can sit on it, take a break and rest for a while. For example, Able2 offers the Able2 Rollator Light Weight and the Able2 Neptune Rollator. A unique example is the Able2 Airgo Fusion. This wheelchair is foldable and easy to convert into a transport chair. This can be useful when the person using the rollator is tired and can no longer walk. An attendant can then convert the chair and push the user home.

Wheelchairs and accessories

Able2 offers a choice of two different wheelchairs: the Able2 Folding Wheelchair and the Able2 Transport Chair. And for both seats it is also possible to purchase comfortable leg rests. Various accessories are available for wheelchairs. These include a phone or bottle holder, a fleece seat or calf support, or a bag that can be attached to the armrest or placed just below the chair.

Aids for in the car

The Able2 Clear Vision provides extra safety for in the car. Clear Vision softens bright lights to improve visibility. It also reduces eye strain and improves visibility in the dark and in rainy weather. The Harley Car Seat Supports provide a little extra comfort for car journeys. The supports provide optimal back support, and adapt to the shape of the body.
