Mobility Issues
“getting to the bathroom without risking a fall…”
If you have a disability that affects your daily living activities, you are not alone. It may be that you have a spinal cord injury and use a wheelchair. You may have suffered from a stroke. Or, you may have an illness that compromises your mobility such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 50 million people in America have some level of disability. Nearly three million people use a wheelchair and nine million use an ambulatory aid such as a cane, crutches, or walker.
There are many challenges associated with people who have mobility limitations. One major concern for people with disabilities is the ability to get to the bathroom without risking a fall. People who use wheelchairs face the risk of toilet transfer-related falls. People who use a cane or walker also risk falling when making their way to the bathroom. In addition, many people with disabilities also have bladder control conditions such as urinary incontinence, compounding the problem.
Many products have been developed to offer support to people who have mobility challenges. Let’s take a look at some of them on this Urological Products Comparison Chart.
