I have just researched all the wonderful different types of equipment that is available to assist different people in different ways. I was wondering if anyone knew or had experience with the following equipment and what disability they know / have that required the equipment. I am aware of the general problems people may have eg. apmutee, hip, knee leg injury etc. but not specific disabilities. Any help would be appreciated!- Special beds (eletric etc.)- Mattresses, overlays, pillows- Lifting and transferring aids – in particular turntables and transfer boards- Mobile hoists, stand up hoists, standing frames- Special seating Thanks =)
I am a spinal cord injured ventilator dependent quadriplegic and use almost all of the items mentioned.
Friend I recommend you go and talk to your local Physical Therapist. Check at the hospital. They know about equipment. I wouldn't be using it without some training and a license. Google Medical Equipment
People with partial paralysis would make use of the turning things on beds that would help them put their feet on the floor. Even people with full paralysis from the waist down...some prefer to use braces rather than a wheelchair, so they have the bed raise to sit them up, then turn them to put legs down, then they put on the braces on their legs, then use a hoist to help them stand, and may ned a standing frame if they have to stand a long time, such as standing at a sink to wash dishes or at the stove to cook, or behind a counter as a cashier. It is a personal preference for some people in wheelchairs Someone with cerebral palsy may have partial paralysis, or paralysis on one side of their body, as well as stroke victims, some people with Multiple Scelorises (MS), they may need a bed that will help them sit up (have you ever tried sitting up with the use of only one leg and arm? It's not easy). They may also need a hoist to get into bed, and other mobility helps.
Getting rid of all social methods is the Republican dream. These methods placed an excessive amount of tax burden at the rich, who could instead spend their cash on yachts, individual jets and holiday mansions in Vail or West Hampton. Getting rid of the arena large events of the army could not ever be a Republican target. Who could safeguard the international operations of Exxon and Coca Cola? Tariffs are an additional factor Republicans could not ever help. American firms are pleased to send jobs to China and India. They cost the equal fees for the items they import, and pocket the financial savings in hard work as further earnings. Foreign support is an additional cherished Republican software. Think approximately who advantages from overseas support. We supply Israel three new C-130J transports. Your tax greenbacks (two.five billion greenbacks) move to an American security contractor. George Bush vows to remedy AIDS in Africa. Your tax greenbacks move to an American drug enterprise. The Tea Party is on for a impolite awakening in the event that they consider those are the Republican plans for America.
