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?

Thank you for doing your business with Allegro.  Did that come out right?

Once you have the length calculated, you can choose the proper width and type of ramp – depending on how and where it will be used.  What a relief to know you will be able to get your mobility scooter into the van; assist an elderly or disabled person up the porch steps; or roll your wheelchair down a terraced walkway with the greatest of ease and safety.

Our buddies at Prairie View Industries (PVI Ramps) shared their ramp slope formulas, ramp slope chart and measurement instructions so we could help you calculate your optimal ramp length.   Thanks PVI!

How Long Should My Ramp Be?

To determine your ramp length you first need to determine the rise.  The rise is the vertical measurement between the ground and where the top of the ramp is going to sit. 

Note: If your rise is more than 24″ (2 feet) please contact a local dealer about a modular system.

PVI recommends not to exceed a 2:12 slope (9.5° ramp incline) on most applications.  The slope relates to how steep the ramp is, in degrees of incline.  Some ramps may need to meet the ADA’s 1:12  (4.8°) more gradual slope requirements, as specified by your state. 

To find a 2:12 slope, take the total rise in inches (vertical measurement between the ground and the top of the step or landing) and divide it by 2.  The result is the number of feet of ramp length you need for that rise. 

Example: Say you have a 12″ rise.  Divide 12 by 2 and you get 6.  So a 12 inch rise requires a 6 foot ramp, using the 2:12 ratio.

A 1:12 slope (used by the ADA) would require 1 foot length of ramp for every inch of vertical rise.

Slope Recommendations based on Use of Ramp: 

• 1:12 SLOPE (4.8°) – Gradual, gentle incline, longest ramp.  Calculated as 1 foot length of ramp for every 1 inch of total vertical rise (the rise divided by 1).  A 5 inch rise requires a 5 foot ramp, a 12 inch rise requires a 12 foot ramp and so on.  The ADA recommends this slope for long home ramps as well as commercial ramps.  Note:  This 1:12 slope works for most strong, unassisted manual wheelchair users, although PVI always recommends assistance. 

• 2:12 SLOPE (9.5°) – Steeper incline, shorter ramp.  Calculate length of ramp in feet by dividing total rise by 2 (6″ of ramp length for every 1″ of rise). A 2:12 slope is the maximum acceptable grade (incline) for portable ramps used by occupied chairs and scooters, with a qualified assistant.

• 3:12 SLOPE (14.5°) – Steepest incline.  Calculate the length of ramp by dividing the total rise by 3 (4 feet of ramp length for every 12 inches of rise).  This 3:12 ratio should be used only for loading and unloading unoccupied chairs and scooters – (in and out of a truck or van, for example).

Access Ramp Safety Guidelines

1. Always have a qualified assistant present when using any portable ramp.
2. Never exceed a slope greater than 2″ on 12″ (2:12 ratio) with an occupied chair or scooter.  Never exceed a slope greater than 3″ on 12″ (3:12 ratio) with an unoccupied chair or scooter.
3. Always make sure that the top of the ramp is secured on a step or landing before using.  It may be necessary to anchor the top of the ramp to the landing surface with steel scurity pins provided.
4. Make certain there is adequate head clearance prior to loading an occupied chair or scooter into a vehicle.
5. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for your chair or scooter.
6. Always use your lap belt.
7. If your ramp comes with a safety DVD, watch it.  All PVI ramps include a DVD.
8. If you need help, please call Allegro Medical at 800-861-3211.

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 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:

• 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.

The following water workouts include interval training, which will do at least as much as your land exercise program.  You’ll burn calories, increase endurance, tone muscle, improve balance, gain agility and strengthen your core.  Let the pool be your liquid gym!  Please consult your doctor before beginning any exercise regimen.

See our most popular water exercise equipment including an underwater treadmill.

5 Water Workouts for Fast Results

First things First – Stretch.  Your calves may tighten up while doing water aerobics or running in the water.  Start out well-stretched with this ProStretch Unilateral Stretching System. 

See all ProStretch  Stretch Systems

Exercise for Cardio Resistance.  Get a cardio blast while toning your upper-body muscles.  Wear webbed gloves or use hand buoys/fitness barbells to do resistance exercises such as biceps curls and lateral raises while jogging backward in water that’s waist- to midchest-deep. Do 2 sets of 12-15 reps, jogging for 10-15 seconds between reps. Practice the strength moves and backward running separately before combining them.

ExerSandals- Hey water jogger, what will you be wearing on your feet?  Designed to be worn to, from and in the pool or lake, these comfortable ExerSandals add flotation and resistance to deep and shallow water routines, plus they protect your feet from pool bottoms and avoid the gunk in the lake.

Complete Fitness System for Women and Complete Fitness System for Men

Do Wall Bounders for Power, Agility and Cardio.  Stand 5 feet from the pool wall and run toward it.  When you get there, quickly kick up both feet and push off the wall so you move backward, fighting the currents you created as you ran. Do 5 repetitions, then turn around and run in a zigzag pattern toward the opposite wall of the pool. When you reach it, do another 5 wall bounders. Repeat entire sequence as many times as you can in 30 minutes.

For more intensity, add 2 lengths of straight-ahead running at the end of each sequence of 10 wall bounders/zigzag runs.

Exercise to Strengthen your Core using a Stability Ball.  Let some air out of a small (30-centimeter, 12″) stability ball and while jogging backward, submerge the ball deep in front of you, then release it. Watch the ball pop up, and quickly catch it in the air.

Exercise to tones your arms.  Stand with your feet apart, arms extended straight in front of you holding a ball.  Breathing rhythmically, push the ball under the water, swinging it into a figure-eight pattern through the water. Move as smoothly as you can, so you don’t strain your shoulders or back.  Try to maintain your balance.  Repeat 10 times. (Note: If you are recovering from an injury, do not do this without the supervision of a therapist.)

See all Exercise Balls & Rolls

Water Jog to Burn Calories and Build Muscles.  Run in water that’s waist- to midchest-deep, slicing your hands through the water as if you’re running on land (but avoid making a swimming motion with your arms). For a serious challenge, run for 2 minutes at a moderate intensity, rest for 30 seconds (or do an easy jog to stay warm), then repeat for 5 times total. Next, run for 1 minute at a high intensity, rest for 30 seconds and repeat for 8 times total. Finally, repeat the 2-minute moderate-intensity intervals and 30-second rest periods 5 more times. Wear cross trainers (dark-soled running shoes will scuff up the pool) or water shoes.
