As winter draws to a close and the days become longer and lighter, many people will be spending more time outdoors. However, for those with limited mobility, chronic pain or fatigue, it can be difficult to spend lengthy amounts of time outside.
Innovations in mobility aids have significantly improved the quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges. There are several reasons why someone might need to use a mobility aid:
Limited Mobility: Individuals with limited mobility due to age, injury, or disability, may find it challenging to walk long distances or stand for extended periods.
Fatigue: Some individuals may experience fatigue or weakness that can make walking difficult.
Balance Issues: Balance problems can significantly impact mobility and safety, particularly in older adults. Mobility aids offer stability and support, helping individuals with balance issues to navigate their surroundings confidently without the fear of falling.
Chronic Pain: Chronic pain conditions affecting the joints, muscles, or nerves can make walking uncomfortable or unbearable. Wheelchairs can provide a comfortable seat and smooth ride, reducing the strain on painful areas and allowing individuals to move around without exacerbating their pain.
LendoCare are a company that is dedicated to bringing customers easy access to assistive technology and an alternative option to expensive purchases, by providing easy access to top quality rental products. They offer a brilliant solution for those who need access to equipment fast, whether it’s a short-term rental or to ‘try before you buy’.
Rollators and wheelchairs are both popular mobility aids. However, they each have their limitations and either only allow the user to walk whilst aided or be pushed along whilst seated. LendoCare have a new mobility aid available to hire, which is a versatile solution for those who are looking to combine the functionality of a rollator with the convenience of an electric wheelchair. The Rollz Motion Electric is an electric rollator wheelchair combination, that allows the user to drive the wheelchair independently with a joystick. The wheelchair can also be pushed with the help of the push support, so that the person pushing can cross slopes more easily. It can easily be converted from rollator to electric powered wheelchair (and vice versa).
Maintaining independence is essential for individuals with mobility challenges. The Rollz Motion Electric enables users to perform daily activities, such as shopping, socialising, or attending appointments, without relying on constant assistance from caregivers or family members. The versatility means it is a fantastic option for individuals who may require different levels of support at different times. Whether walking short distances or traveling longer distances, users can easily switch between modes to suit their needs.
The Rollz Motion Electric is also compact and foldable, making it ideal for travel so that users can take their mobility aid with them wherever they go, ensuring they have the support they need.
LendoCare have this product available to hire on a week-by-week basis. Their online booking system allows you to select the delivery date and collection date, and also allows you to leave the collection date box empty for flexible rental on a rolling basis. They also have a next day delivery option available for those who may need a walking aid at short notice.
Currently, the Rollz Motion Electric is only available around London, but they hope to have it available nationwide soon. Alternatively, they have other options for mobility aids which are available in other areas. You can visit their website by clicking here.
