Solutions to improve reduced mobility

Posted by Sergy Paul on January 6th, 2021

There are tools like folding walking stick and many other supporting tools that help our elders to lead a normal life despite having reduced mobility. The market offers us a multitude of products that greatly facilitate our day to day work.

Surely on some occasion, you have seen a cane or shower stools and have thought of your older relative, or even some shoes to walk around the house designed for him.

To correctly select the element that will help our senior in moving him, we must, first, see what degree of dependency our senior has.
If our eldest has a very slightly reduced mobility, we can start using orthopedic insoles and orthopedic shoes. Both products do not present an excessively high cost and will help our elderly to mitigate pain when walking and correct posture. 

In any case, they are products that have to be manufactured with the elderly in mind, since some generics can cause injuries as we collect in this guide on shoes and orthopedic insoles.

If we find that the cane is not enough, we should consider a walker as an alternative. Walkers have a greater base of support and are safer. The prices are somewhat higher, but they are very useful since some come with chairs and baskets for small purchases. As we collect in this complete walker buying guide, it is necessary to inform yourself before getting one of them.
