5 Best Arthritis Aids for Improved Day to Day Living
1. Walking Aids
Walking aids are a fantastic way to improve your mobility and gain more independence if you have arthritis. Walking aids come in all shapes, sizes and with different functions. At Millercare, we have a huge selection of walking aids to choose from to fulfil your needs.
Walking Frames are a simple yet effective way to improve your mobility in day to day life. The walking frames that we sell are attached to wheels, and they help you keep your balance as you are walking.
Walking Sticks can greatly improve your mobility if you just need a little helping hand. The sticks that we sell come in different sizes and colours, so you will be able to find one that suits your needs. However, if you are looking to buy a walking stick, you should ensure that your grip is strong enough to use one. If you are unsure about this, feel free to come to one of our local stores to test one out.
Rollators are a simple yet effective way to improve your everyday life if you have arthritis. The rollators that we sell are adjustable, lightweight and portable. Some of our rollators have a basket attached to the frame, which can be helpful if you struggle with your grip as you can place your bags inside the basket rather than holding them.
Mobility Scooters are a great way to maintain your independence if you are struggling to keep independence with mobility issues. Mobility scooters will get you from A to B with ease. At Millercare, we have a wide selection of scooters to choose from to suit your needs. When deciding which mobility scooter to invest in you should consider where you will be using it, how regularly you will be using it and what specifications you need it to have.
Wheelchairs can greatly improve your life if you have mobility issues. There are different types of wheelchairs you can choose from, depending on what your lifestyle and mobility needs are. For example, we sell electric wheelchairs that are great if you need to use a wheelchair at all times, but we also have lightweight wheelchairs that are great if you plan to use the wheelchair on occasion rather than regularly.
