Travel Mobility Aids For Mildly Disabled
Posted: October 6th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Disability Aid Reviews | Tags: mobility, travel aid | 7 Comments »The type of mobility assistance you may need will depend upon your limitations. Those that we describe on this page are suitable for mildly limiting disabilities such as mild arthritis or early stage lung disease (COPD, emphysema, asthma, chronic bronchitis). People who are able to walk with some of the weight shifted to their arms or who may need periodic rest may find these devices useful.
The Market Mate is available from Active and Able. It is a combination walker (sometimes called a rollator), resting seat and carrying basket. Suitable for sidewalks and stores, but it is not suitable for rougher terrain.
At the time of this writing, the price is approximately $190 (U.S.).
