Scooters & Mobility Aids

Mobility Aids at Stone Lang

Mobility aids are devices designed to help people who have problems moving around enjoy greater freedom and independence.  Typically, people who have disabilities or injuries, or older adults who are at increased risk of falling, choose to use mobility aids.  These devices provide several benefits to users, including more independence, reduced pain, and increased confidence and self-esteem.

Stone-Lang carries a wide range of mobility devices to meet your specific – from canes and crutches to wheelchairs and scooters.

 

Mobility Scooters

Mobility scooters have a seat set on top of either 3, 4, or 5 wheels.  The user’s feet rest on foot plates, and there are handlebars or steering wheels to control direction. They are typically battery powered.  Mobility scooters are beneficial for those without the upper body strength or flexibility to use a manual wheelchair. Many scooter users report a positive impact on their lives due to their choice of mobility aid.

Walkers

Walkers are made up of a metal framework with four legs that provide stability and support to the user. These very stable walking aids are used by 4.6 percent of adults in the U.S. over 65.

Basic walkers have a 3-sided frame that surrounds the user. Users lift the frame and place it further in front of them, they then step forward to meet it, before repeating the process.  Some walkers have wheels or glides on the base of the legs, which means the user can slide the walker rather than lift it. This is especially helpful for people with limited arm strength.

Types of walkers beyond the basic model include:

Rollators. This common style of walker consists of a frame with four wheels, handlebars, and seat so the user can rest as needed. Rollators also include hand breaks as a safety feature.

 

Canes

Canes are useful for people who may be at risk of falling.  Canes are similar to crutches in that they support the body’s weight and help transmit the load from the legs to the upper body. However, they take less weight off the lower body than crutches and place greater pressure on the hands and wrists.  Assistive canes are useful for people who have problems balancing and who are at risk of falling. In the United States (U.S.), it is estimated that 1 in every 10 adults over the age of 65 uses a cane.

Crutches

Crutches help to transfer weight from the legs to the upper body. They can be used singly or in pairs. Crutches help keep a person upright and may be used by those with short-term injuries or permanent disabilities.

Axillary (underarm) crutches. One part of an axillary crutch is placed against the ribcage under the armpits, while users hold onto the hand grip. These crutches are typically used by those with short-term injuries.
