Lifting Cushions
Lift cushions lend a boost to people who need help getting up and sitting down. Smaller, but similar to a lift chair, lift cushions turn any seated surface into a lift chair. Lift cushions automatically raise and lower at the push of a button, giving a boost to people off any seated surface. Most lift cushions can be used in almost any chair and can be taken with you when you travel. Lift cushions will bare approximately 80 to 100% of the user's weight. This forces the user to exercise and maintain their remaining residual muscle strength.

Walking Aids
If you are a little unsteady on your feet but want to remain on them, a walking aid may be the mobile aid for you. Walking aids include equipment such as standard walkers, rolling walkers or rollators. Rolling walkers, or rollators, provide their users with security and while they walk. The rigid frame of a rolling walker also forces uses to stand upright and can improve posture. Walkers come in non-rolling and rolling (or rollator) models. All three provide support and offer a seat to rest on if the user feels fatigued. Mobility aides such as standard walkers, rolling walkers and rollators often have baskets attached to allow users to transport important items along with them.
