Aids to Daily Living

Many ADLs are adaptive in nature, allowing the user to do something they might not have been able to otherwise, such as stand up from a chair, work the TV remote, cook a meal, open a jar, drive a car, hear the doorbell or button a shirt.  Some Daily Living Aids are created simply to make your life easier.

I like to tell folks that if they have lost some independence or are no longer able to manage tasks that they used to – short term or long, there is probably a Daily Living Aid to help!

Allegro has a massive selection of Daily Living Aids to help assist Around the House, Around the Office, in Communication, Vision Aids, Hearing Assists, Dressing Aids, Eating Aids, Medication Aids, Lifting Aids and much more.  Below is a list of our most popular Aids to Daily Living.  Can they help restore your independence?

If your low back pain doesn’t go away after a few days, or you’ve been injured, feel leg tingles, numbness or  weakness, call your doctor or chiropractor.  But for routine, mild back pain, you can usually reduce the pain on your own. 

The first thing to do when you’ve injured your back is to ICE IT! Chilling the area reduces inflammation.  Heat does the opposite, and is usually recommended for sore joints, arthritis and chronic pain. Remember, use an ice pack for only 20 minutes per hour – for 24 to 48 hours.  

Managing back pain at home and preventing future back problems  involves some thought and a little work but it is well worth it.  Here are Allegro Medical’s top selling, most popular back relief products.

Best Selling Back Pain Products

Coccyx Cushion – A super popular back pain reliever, the coccyx cushion helps relieve back pain by reducing the pressure on your spine and eliminating painful pressure on your tailbone. It is made of high density memory foam and is slanted so it tilts the pelvis forward to restore the natural lumbar curve.   Use it in your car, office, home… anywhere you sit!

Shop all Coccyx Cushions

Shop all Cushions, Covers and Backs

Thermophore Automatic Moist Heat Pack - Heat is often recommended for back pain, joint pain, arthritis or back muscle spasms (remember, cold therapy is usually prescribed first, if area is inflamed), the Thermophore Moist Heat Pack is the optimal choice for natural heat treatments.  It delivers very intense, moist heat, but it needs no water because it produces its own moisture from the air.  Cool, huh.

Cervical and Lumbar Traction Devices - Choose from basic to premium home traction systems to enable easy traction without assistance.  A cost effective way to continue clinical traction treatments! Consult your physician or chiropractor before use.

Better Sleep Pillow - Besides eliminating pain from frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries and reducing or eliminating snoring, the Better Sleep Side Sleeper also supports your body for proper spinal alignment.  It is made of hypoallergenic memory foam.  (If you like ’em firm, this could be your dream pillow).  Remember, all memory foam smells funny for the first few days out of the box, but the smell goes away.

With the large range of mobility products available today, it would be a shame for anyone capable of using them to sit idly by. Let Allegro help you take control of your life, reduce your pain, improve your safety and lessen your dependence on others with a mobility device.

Which Mobility Equipment is Best for You?

Canes

Canes – Canes are most often used to improve your balance as you walk, or to compensate for an injury or disability.  No longer whittled out of any old tree branch, walking canes have come a long way in their engineering, usability and comfort.    

Your cane should be long enough that you don’t have to bend down to use it (save your back!).  You’ll want your elbow to bend at a comfortable angle. Measure from the floor to the crease in your wrist when your arm is hanging straight down from your side.  That is the optimal height for the top of the cane. 

Stock up on rubber tips so you’ll always have replacements on hand.  Check the cane’s weight capacity to ensure it can support your weight.  Choose from Standard C Canes (min support, best if used for balance), Specialty Canes, 4-legged Quad Canes (weight bearing) and Hemi Walkers (max support) depending on your stability.  Remember when walking with a cane, you hold the cane in the hand opposite of your injured  or weak foot.  It is used as a counter-balance, not a foot replacement.

Shop all Canes

Shop all Cane Accessories

Shop all Crutches

Walkers

Walkers – If you are ambulatory, but you have poor balance or are at risk for falling you are a good candidate for a walker. If you are extremely wobbly, you will want to consider a Standard Walker (no wheels) because of their stability, but keep in mind that they are not as easy to push forward as a two-wheeled walker or a 4-wheeled rollator.

2-Wheeled Walkers let you put weight on the walker as you move.  The two back legs have no wheels so the walker won’t roll away while you’re stepping forward, but the wheeled front legs allow you to easily move the walker forward.  Brilliant.

If balance isn’t a concern, you’ll move along more quickly with a 4-wheeled walker also called a Rollator.  My 96-year old grandmother loves her rollator because it has hand brakes, a seat and a basket . . . and it looks snazzy.  Make a fashion statement, dontate to a great charity and support breast cancer awareness by choosing a pink rollator!

Knee Walkers are for those with foot/ankle injuries or surgeries.  A great substitute for crutches, a knee walker lets you get around without putting any weight on your foot.  We recommend the ones with turning wheels (steerable).

Check the Specialty Walkers category if you’re looking for a child’s gait trainer, a bariatric walker, hemi walker, transport chair/rollator combos and specialty parts.

Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs - Before choosing a wheelchair you must review your goals, lifestyle, current and future needs, living environment, how you will use the wheelchair, whether you will drive a car or transport the chair as a passenger.  This evaluation process will help you decide which type(s) of chair will work for you. 

For passengers weighing more than 250 lbs, take a look at the manual Heavy Duty Wheelchairs as they are built to hold more weight than a Standard Weight Wheelchair.

Lightweight Wheelchairs are easy to maneuver (reduces upper body stress) and to lift for transport.  The frames and components are made of aluminum or titanium so they are very strong, but light.  The only drawback may be the passenger weight capacity, so be sure to check.  Ultra Lightweight Wheelchairs offer the ultimate freedom and are great for active paraplegic and quadriplegic users.

Many active manual wheelchair users participate in sports using a Sports Chair, designed with cambered wheels and light, tough frames for ultimate contact and maneuverablility on the baskeball or tennis court.  If you’re up for the challenge, check out the racing wheelchairs as well.

Transport chairs are a good choice for those who cannot roll themselves in a manual chair.  The transport wheelchairs have handles on the back allowing someone to push the passenger.  They are a wonderful solution for transporting someone out of the house, to the car, down the hall, around the zoo, through the airport, etc.  See all transport chairs, along with pool wheelchairs, transport/rollator combos, beach wheelchairs and travel chairs in Transport/Specialty Chairs.

Power Wheelchairs may be the perfect solution for those who are completely incapable of rolling even a lightweight manual wheelchair.  They generally have a tight turning radius so they can get in and out of small spaces.  On the flip side, they are generally very heavy and difficult to transport. 

Lift and transport your wheelchair (up to 100 lbs) on your trailer hitch with a Wheelchair Carrier.

Mobility Scooters

Mobility Scooters - For those with limited mobility, poor upper body strength but good manual dexterity, an electric mobility scooter (power scooter) is a fun alternative to a wheelchair.  They travel on battery power and have lots of options – which means they demand special consideration when purchasing.

Choose from 3 Wheel Mobility Scooters or 4 Wheel Mobility Scooters, but first please read these helpful buyers guides:

Mobility Scooter Buyers Guides

• Mobility Scooters – 3 Wheel or 4 Wheel?
• Types of Mobility Scooters
• 5 Things to Consider when Choosing a Mobility Scooter

Whether it is a cane, walker, manual wheelchair, power chair or mobility scooter, we wish you all the best in maintaining your independence and living life to the fullest.
