Aspects of Motor Disability
In recent years, there has been an increase in the levels of well-being in society, which has transformed the style and quality of life of the population in general. One of the most notable changes in this new lifestyle is the widespread acceptance that physical activity is beneficial for the person by preventing disease, improving mood, elevating self-esteem, helping in the formation of the individual, and facilitating interaction and social integration.
Advantages of a Special Needs Stroller vs. a Wheelchair
Strollers for children with special needs are an excellent option to support the postural care of children from 0 to 6 years of age.
Children with disabilities spend many hours sitting or lying down, that’s why it’s important that their equipment have adequate postural support. The generally recommended postural supports are: head support, lateral / anterior trunk supports, pelvis supports, seat belt, abductors or adductors. In addition to the adequate supports, it is important that the system offer options for changing positions such as recline and tilt.
A Lift chair’s Role in Post-Surgical Recovery
We regularly think that lift chairs are used only by older adults, but there is a huge population that can benefit from the use of lift chairs. Currently, many doctors prescribe them for the recovery of hip, knee, back, neck, abdominal, chest, ankle or foot surgeries. The fact that the chair facilitates standing and offers comfortable sitting makes it ideal for post-surgical recovery.
