Mobility Devices

Mobility devices are some of the most commonly used assistive technologies, with a wide variety of options available to suit different individuals’ needs. While wheelchairs and powerchairs are generally the items most individuals think of in regards to mobility aids, there is a diverse array of other options for those who need them:

  • Walkers
  • Canes
  • Crutches and elbow crutches
  • Braces
  • Electric scooters
  • Electric wheelchairs
  • Stair lifts
  • Lift chairs
  • Lift vans
  • Rollators
  • Segways
  • Zimmer frames
  • Gait trainers
  • Self-balancing vehicles

Mobility Devices: Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)These mobility aids can help individuals walk, or, for individuals who cannot walk, to assist them in moving through their environment in other ways.

New technologies have enabled individuals with mobility limitations to be able to move through environments more easily, including individuals with paraplegia, through the use of supportive exoskeletons and motorized personal braces, rehabilitative systems, implanted device control systems. While such systems are still highly experimental and often extremely expensive, as these technologies mature, they will hopefully become more attainable by the populations that require them most.
