Mobility aids are devices designed to help people who have problems moving around enjoy greater freedom and independence.
In Australia, over 600.000 people with disabilities or injuries, or older adults who are at increased risk of falling, choose to use mobility aids to be more independent, to reduce their pain, and to increase their confidence and self-esteem.
Going where you like, and staying mobile has a significant impact on your overall quality of life. Therefore, you want to make sure that you have the right mobility aid, so you can enjoy everyday activities without having to rely on anyone else.
