Mobility aids are a good thing. They exist to help people. That's why they're called aids.

What's a mobility aid (or aids) you wish more people knew about?

for me, ive been really loving my rollator! it's a kind of walker. it helps steady me more than a cane would, helps carry things for me, and most of all helps me sit more frequently to save energy throughout the day!

this is my current one, drive nitro tall, cuz my hand height is really high and this was one of the tallest i could find (41 inch max height), and it folds sideways and stays standing and can roll around like that, which helps for navigating tight spaces and storage without having to lean it on something!

i first used a rollator that was bought used cheap from a thrift store, ive seen a lot at thrift stores! even thought it was too short for me and the brakes didnt work, it still made a HUGE difference for me, i wasnt expecting it! I highly reccomend checking there and other used storefronts online to find mobility aids for cheap and start trying some out, even if its a bit jank!

i wanna hear more random stuff about mobility aids! please feel free to share anything from anecdotes to technical details to random bits you wish others knew more about, either to use themself or to know about mobility aid users!

another random one i didnt know about is forearm crutches! i havent used them myself, but i know some people who do, and they seem like a great alternative to canes that dont strain the wrist and hand as much and let you lean on them in a different way, can use one or two!

As someone who uses a cane, crutches, rollator, wheechair, and powerchair— I’m here to let you know:

If using a mobility aid helps you, you’re allowed to use it!

If it doesn’t help you, or you don’t end up needing it, donate it back to the community! No harm no foul!

Bought a rollator finally (been thinking about it for 6 to 12 months and currently unable to leave my house more than once a week)

yippe

If anyone wants to give me inspiration for decorating it, or things to keep in the bag, that'd be super helpful and lovely! thank youuu
