Mobility aids are suitable for older adults, people recovering from injury or surgery, and those living with long-term conditions that affect movement or balance. They can help reduce strain, improve stability and make daily tasks more manageable.
Choosing the right walking stick depends on your height, level of support needed and comfort. A properly fitted walking stick should allow your elbow to bend slightly when held. A pharmacist can help advise on suitable options.
Most mobility aids are designed for regular, everyday use. It’s important to use them as intended and check them regularly for signs of wear to ensure continued safety and effectiveness.
If everyday activities are becoming difficult, uncomfortable or unsafe, daily living aids can provide practical support. Early use can help prevent falls, strain and loss of confidence.
