FAQs
We unicare about your experience with us today
Mobility aids are products designed to help people who have limited mobility gain greater independence. They are particularly helpful for individuals with disabilities or older adults who are at a higher risk of falling. These aids assist in enhancing balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls and enabling users to move without relying on assistance from a caregiver.
At Unicare Health, we offer a comprehensive range of mobility aids tailored to suit your specific needs. Our selection includes:
- Seat walkers: Perfect for a day out or trips to the shops, these aids feature easy-to-use frames. Many of our seat walkers also feature lightweight folding frames for extra portability.
- Forearm walkers: Designed for individuals with reduced strength in their hands or wrists, these walkers provide comfortable stability on your daily walks.
- Walking frames: Ideal for temporary use during rehabilitation or recovery, our two-wheeled walking frames offer that extra bit of mobility assistance.
- Walking sticks: Simple and classic, suitable for individuals looking for additional support while walking.
- Tri and quad sticks: With additional prongs for stability and balance, these serve as an excellent option during recovery or rehabilitation.
- Crutches: Designed for temporary use during recovery or rehabilitation, crutches are a useful option for enabling mobility and support.
Additionally, we offer flexible and lightweight tray walkers for mobility assistance around the house, while keeping smaller essentials handy such as keys, phone, or dinner plates.
A walking frame is a steady frame with stationary bases that must be picked up and moved forward to take a step. It provides stable support for individuals who may be unsteady on their feet. On the other hand, a seat walker, also known as a rollator, features a wheeled base and hand brakes. This allows users to wheel the walker along in front of them and smoothly stop when needed. The seat walkers combine the stability of a walking frame with the convenience of wheels, providing support and mobility in one.
When choosing a mobility aid, consider the following factors:
- Safe working load: Ensure the device can safely support your weight by selecting a mobility aid that meets or exceeds your current weight requirements. If there's a possibility of weight gain in the future, consider choosing a device with a higher weight capacity.
- Manoeuvrability: Different mobility aids offer varying levels of manoeuvrability. Consider where you plan to use the device, both indoors and outdoors, and select one that offers good manoeuvrability in both settings.
- Comfort: Comfort is crucial for ensuring that you will use your mobility aid regularly. Look for devices with adjustable height and seating options to customise them for your comfort.
- Weight: Lightweight wheelchairs are brilliant for transporting in the car and can be easier for individuals with limited strength to use. Â However, some lightweight materials may not offer as much protection from wear and tear as durable materials like steel or titanium. Consider how often you will be using your walker and try to choose one that suits your needs.
