A Wheelchair
According to your responses, it looks like a wheelchair might be the right mobility aid for you!
You got this result because:
- You said that you wanted to get out and about more without having to walk everywhere.
- You also said that you would be able to wheel yourself around using your arms, which is great! This means you can keep up your arm strength – after all, if you don’t use it you lose it, right?!
The wheelchair in the photo above is a manual self propelled wheelchair which allows you to wheel yourself around, so you can be independent and take yourself places as you wish!
Just a word of caution...
If you are falling over or having near misses it’s important that you see a physiotherapist or a doctor so they can help you stop falling.
Also, please see a professional before choosing a mobility aid! Many factors come into choosing the right aid so getting a mobility assessment will mean you get the safest and best one for you.
An Occupational Therapist would be the best professional to talk to about wheelchairs!
