WALKING AIDS
Crutches - When selecting crutches it is important to select the right type and size as ill fitting crutches can cause fatigue and fustration. We can supply crutches that are adjustable to a comfortable walking hieght for most users and some have special features to reduce strain on wrists and spread the weight evenly.
Sticks - A walking stick must be the correct length for the user to allow the body weight to be transferred through the stick when walking. We can supply sticks in a variety of styles and lengths and with different shaped handles so that the user can find one most suited to them.
Tripods & Quadrupeds - These are used in the same way as walking sticks but they offer more stability due to thier wider base. They are reccommended for users who require additional assistance with balance.
Walking Frames - We can supply walking frames which come in a range of widths, heights, and depths and have extra features that will meet the demands of various users. Walking frames are used for reducing the weight carried by the lower limbs and assisting with balance. It is important to select a frame that matches the individual's requirements so that it is comfortable to use.
Rollators & Tri Wheel Walkers - These wheeled walking aids are useful for those who find it difficult to use a traditional walking frame. The large wheels encourage a flowing walking pattern and allow the user to maintain correct posture. Available with different features and benefits they are ideal indoors and out, and can be folded away for storage when not in use.
