Disability Equipment Retailer Baltimore MD

Are you struggling to complete certain tasks?

Are you finding that activities such as standing or walking are getting more difficult for you?

Perhaps you are experiencing arthritis pain or have hip, leg or back problems that are interfering with your ability to get around.

If so, there is a variety of disability equipment available to help you continue living an independent lifestyle.

If you are considering a mobility aid such as a cane or walker, there are many benefits associated with both of these products. See below:

Benefits of a Cane:

For anyone experiencing any form of pain or weakness along one side of their body that is making it difficult to walk, stand or balance, a cane could offer support.

Selecting the appropriate height in a cane will offer the best results.

The general rule for determining which length cae will work best for you is fairly simple.

The cane should be level with where your wrist naturally falls when hanging your hands down by your side, while in a standing position.

To use a cane correctly, it should be held in the hand opposite of the side giving you difficulty.

Benefits of a Walker:

A walker is a mobility aid intended for individuals who can still walk, but need some assistance.

Walkers are typically made from lightweight metals, making it easy to lift and move across walking surfaces.

If you experience lack of balance or feel unsteady while standing, then a walker is most likely a great option for you.

Choosing a walker is somewhat dependent on your strength, fitness level and ability to balance.

Walkers come in a variety of styles, heights and types.

When deciding on a walker, you want to ensure it appropriately fits your physical needs and lifestyle.
