			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ability to get from here . . . to there . . . is practically the definition of independence.  And Allegro offers hundreds of ways to get there, regardless of your ability.  Just take a look at our large selection of canes, walkers, rollators, wheelchairs and mobility scooters!</p>
<p>Choosing the right mobility equipment is important for your health and safety.  Read the product descriptions carefully so that you understand the capacities, dimensions and benefits of each product. Your physical capabilities must also be considered when choosing the right mobility equipment.  Your doctor, caregiver or  health care professional can help recommend the best type of equipment for your current and future mobility needs.  When it comes to getting around, Allegro is sure to have exactly what you need.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TYPES of MOBILITY AIDS</strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632.html">Canes</a></h2>
<p>Canes can be used for balance (single tip) or to bear your full weight (quad).  The top of the cane should be at the same level as the crease on the back side of your wrist with your arms at your side.  Measure the distance from your wrist to the floor, with shoes on.  Review this <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/canes/HA00064">MayClinic.com Slideshow: How to choose and use a cane</a> for more information.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632/invacare-quad-cane-large-base-13-x-7-3-4-adjusts-27-1-4-37-1-4-p174472.html"><img class="alignnone" title="Adjustable Quad Walking Cane - Large Base " src="http://images.allegrocentral.com/65/4C/adjustable-quad-walking-cane-large-base-174472-SMALL_0.jpg" alt="Adjustable Quad Walking Cane - Large Base " width="90" height="90" /></a><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632/quad-canes-c6634.html?sortOrder=4">Quad Canes</a></p>

<p>Already have a cane?  How about attaching a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/browse/browseProducts.do?searchPhrase=cane+ice+grip">Cane Ice Grip</a> this winter?</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/crutches-c5009.html">Crutches</a> </h2>
<p>Crutches are fitted according to your height.  When you stand, your elbows should bend slightly at about 20 degrees, with your hand grips even with your hip joint.  You should be able to fully extend your elbow with each step forward.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/crutches-c5009/millennial-crutch-ergonomic-folding-crutches-p216994.html"><img class="alignnone" title="Millennial Crutch In-Motion Pro - Ergonomic Folding Crutches " src="http://images.allegrocentral.com/91/8B/Millennial-Crutch-In-Motion-Pro---Ergonomic-Folding-Crutches-216994-SMALL_IMAGE.jpg" alt="Millennial Crutch In-Motion Pro - Ergonomic Folding Crutches " width="90" height="90" /></a><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/crutches-c5009/adjustable-crutches-c5011.html?sortOrder=4">Adjustable Crutches</a></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533.html">Mobility Scooters</a></h2>
<p>Get going with with an electric mobility scooter! These battery powered vehicles are full of options and can be a great alternative to a wheelchair for those with limited mobility but good manual dexterity.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516.html">Walkers</a></h2>
<p>For balance, or if you are at risk for falling, a walker may be the perfect choice.  <strong>Rule of thumb: </strong>A standard walker without wheels is most stable.  Walkers with wheels may get you around faster, though, because you can put your weight on the walker as you move.  Rollators, or 4-wheeled walkers really keep you moving.   Review this <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/walker/HA00060">MayoClinic.Com Slide Show: How to choose and use a walker</a> for more info.</p>

<p>Choosing a wheelchair, except the most basic models or transport chairs, requires help from a nurse, doctor or therapist.  Once you&#8217;ve determined your requirements as to special features, type of wheelchair, back height, width, weight and support you need, it&#8217;s a matter of choosing the style that suits you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diminished mobility, temporary or otherwise, can be a real show stopper when it comes to your independence.  The reality is, you don&#8217;t need to miss another minute of your life because of mobility issues.  Just ask any of the millions of wheelchair, mobility scooter, walker and cane users worldwide. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Which Mobility Equipment is Best for You?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632.html">Canes</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632.html"><img class="alignnone" title="Elite Cane Seat" src="http://images.allegrocentral.com/C6/5C/Elite-Cane-Seat-554665-PRODUCT-SMALL_IMAGE.jpg" alt="Elite Cane Seat" width="90" height="90" />Canes</a> &#8211; 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.    </p>
<p>Your cane should be long enough that you don&#8217;t have to bend down to use it (save your back!).  You&#8217;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. </p>
<p>Stock up on <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/browse/browseProducts.do?searchPhrase=cane+tips">rubber tips</a> so you&#8217;ll always have replacements on hand.  Check the cane&#8217;s weight capacity to ensure it can support your weight.  Choose from <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632/standard-canes-c6633.html?sortOrder=4">Standard C Canes</a> (min support, best if used for balance), <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632/specialty-canes-c6635.html?sortOrder=4">Specialty Canes</a>, 4-legged <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632/quad-canes-c6634.html?sortOrder=4">Quad Canes</a> (weight bearing) and <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/browse/browseProducts.do?searchPhrase=hemi+walker">Hemi Walkers</a> (max support) depending on your stability.  Remember when walking with a cane, you hold the cane in the hand <strong>opposite</strong> of your injured  or weak foot.  It is used as a counter-balance, not a foot replacement.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516.html">Walkers</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516.html"><img class="alignnone" title="Guardian Envoy 480 Deluxe Rolling Walker " src="http://images.allegrocentral.com/28/40/Guardian-Envoy-480-Deluxe-Rolling-Walker-191941-PRODUCT-SMALL_IMAGE.jpg" alt="Guardian Envoy 480 Deluxe Rolling Walker " width="90" height="90" />Walkers</a> &#8211; 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 <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516/standard-walkers-c3598.html?sortOrder=4">Standard Walker</a> (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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516/wheeled-walkers-c3954.html?sortOrder=4">2-Wheeled Walkers</a> let you put weight on the walker as you move.  The two back legs have no wheels so the walker won&#8217;t roll away while you&#8217;re stepping forward, but the wheeled front legs allow you to easily move the walker forward.  Brilliant.</p>
<p>If balance isn&#8217;t a concern, you&#8217;ll move along more quickly with a 4-wheeled walker also called a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516/rollators-c3597.html?sortOrder=4">Rollator</a>.  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 <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/breast-cancer-awareness-c5187/breast-cancer-awareness-pink-4-wheeled-rollator-p500972.html">pink rollator</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516/knee-walkers-c7199.html?sortOrder=4">Knee Walkers</a> are for those with foot/ankle injuries or surgeries.  A great substitute for <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/crutches-c5009.html">crutches</a>, a knee walker lets you get around without putting any weight on your foot.  We recommend the ones with turning wheels (steerable).</p>
<p>Check the <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516/specialty-walkers-c3944.html?sortOrder=4">Specialty Walkers</a> category if you&#8217;re looking for a child&#8217;s gait trainer, a bariatric walker, hemi walker, transport chair/rollator combos and specialty parts.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540.html"><img class="alignnone" title="Breezy Easy Care 3000 Lightweight Wheelchair " src="http://images.allegrocentral.com/6B/9B/Guardian-Easy-Care-3000-Lightweight-Wheelchair-190102-PRODUCT-SMALL_IMAGE.jpg" alt="Breezy Easy Care 3000 Lightweight Wheelchair " width="90" height="90" />Wheelchairs</a> - 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. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For passengers weighing more than 250 lbs, take a look at the manual <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/heavy-duty-c3756.html">Heavy Duty Wheelchairs</a> as they are built to hold more weight than a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/standard-weight-c3755.html?sortOrder=4">Standard Weight Wheelchair</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/lightweight-c3754.html?sortOrder=4">Lightweight Wheelchairs</a> 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.  <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/ultra-lightweight-c3759.html?sortOrder=4">Ultra Lightweight Wheelchairs</a> offer the ultimate freedom and are great for active paraplegic and quadriplegic users.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Many active manual wheelchair users participate in sports using a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/sports-chairs-c3763.html?sortOrder=4">Sports Chair</a>, designed with cambered wheels and light, tough frames for ultimate contact and maneuverablility on the baskeball or tennis court.  If you&#8217;re up for the challenge, check out the <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/browse/browseProducts.do?categoryKey=3763&amp;sortOrder=4&amp;searchPhrase=racing+chair">racing wheelchairs</a> as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">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 <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/transport-specialty-chairs-c3762.html?sortOrder=4">Transport/Specialty Chairs</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/power-chairs-c3757.html?sortOrder=4">Power Wheelchairs</a> 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. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Lift and transport your wheelchair (up to 100 lbs) on your trailer hitch with a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540/wheelchair-carriers-c4012.html">Wheelchair Carrier</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Choose from <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/3-wheel-mobility-scooters-c3797.html?sortOrder=4">3 Wheel Mobility Scooters</a> or <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/4-wheel-mobility-scooters-c3798.html?sortOrder=4">4 Wheel Mobility Scooters</a>, but first please read these helpful buyers guides:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A mobility scooter is an investment that should be made wisely.  Take some time to research the various options and really make sure you&#8217;re getting the scooter that makes the most sense for your lifestyle, size, and use. </p>
<p>Before choosing a mobility scooter, answer these 5 very important questions:</p>
<p>1.  <strong>Are you physically capable of operating a mobility scooter?</strong></p>
<p>If you can sit upright  for long periods of time and have the dexterity and strength in both hands to safely steer and operate the controls, you are most likely a good candidate for a powered mobility scooter. </p>
<p>If you need special seating options such as positioning pads or you have a disability that requires your legs to be elevated and/or you have limited dexterity or no hand strength you may want to take a look at <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/power-chairs-c7446.html?sortOrder=4">Power Wheelchairs</a>.  Power chairs are controlled with a joystick mounted on the armrest so they can be maneuvered with one hand.  More advanced steering options are available for those who can&#8217;t use their hands.  Power chairs also offer more seating options and legrest options (legrests are not available on mobility scooters). </p>
<p>2.  <strong>How much weight must the scooter carry?</strong></p>
<p>Once you know that a mobility scooter is the right option, the carrying capacity is your next consideration.  This will eliminate some choices right off the bat.  The rider&#8217;s weight isn&#8217;t the only thing.  There&#8217;s also the weight of items you will be carrying on your scooter &#8211; everything from oxygen tanks to laundry baskets and shopping bags.</p>
<p>If you are close to the weight capacity, consider choosing a scooter in the next capacity range, especially since many people gain weight once they stop walking and start riding.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t try to fudge the weight or you will void the manufacturer&#8217;s warranty plus your weight will likely affect the overall performance of the power scooter, especially on the uphills. </p>
<p>Think also about your other physical attributes, like, if you&#8217;re petite, you may not feel comfortable on a very large scooter and if you are tall, you will want a scooter with plenty of leg room.</p>
<p>3.  <strong>Where will you be riding the scooter?</strong></p>
<p>If you get around the house okay with a cane or walker, but you want to be able to run errands and do some shopping, take a look at the compact travel scooters.   Scooters designated as &#8220;travel scooters&#8221; have lots of great features but they have one thing in common &#8211; they &#8220;come apart&#8221; easily for transport.  The <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/3-wheel-mobility-scooters-c3-wheel-travel-scooters-c7399.html?sortOrder=4">3 wheel travel scooters</a> are typically the lightest, most compact and most maneuverable, and they have good stability on even surfaces.  Because of their tight turning radius they are perfect for getting around in crowds or negotiating store aisles and turns.  The <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/drive-daytona-4-wheel-scooter-p211001.html">4 wheel travel scooters</a> are generally heavier and less compact, but more comfortable and stable on uneven terrain.  Be sure to weigh the easy of portability and assembly against your desired level of comfort, stability and battery range when choosing your travel mobility scooter. </p>
<p>If you need your mobility scooter to get around the house, the biggest challenge is having enough room to make turns and get down narrow hallways or into bathrooms.  <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/3-wheel-mobility-scooters-c3797.html?sortOrder=4">Three wheel mobility scooters</a> are sometimes the only way to go if you live in a small space.  Otherwise, a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/scooter-accessories-c3720.html?sortOrder=4">power wheelchair</a> has the smallest turning radius and may be your best option inside the home if you are unable to use another mobility device such as a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/canes-c6632.html">cane</a>, <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/walkers-c516.html">walker/rollator</a> or <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wheelchairs-c540.html">manual wheelchair</a>.</p>
<p>Road warriors that want to tool around the neighborhood, romp through the park or go on a long distance adventures will definately need the stability, comfort and battery range of a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/4-wheel-mobility-scooters-c3798.html?sortOrder=4">4 wheel scooter</a> or even a <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/4-wheel-mobility-scooters-c4-wheel-heavy-duty-scooters-c7418.html?sortOrder=4">4 wheel heavy duty scooter</a>.  Heavy duty scooters have higher weight capacities and larger drive motors.  Depending on where you live, you might need an <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/wrangler-pmv-4-wheel-w-100ah-batteries-upgrade-seat-fnt-basket-p210814.html">All-Terrain Scooter</a>.   Also, if you are going to be driving in tall grass, make sure your scooter has a high ground clearance.</p>
<p>For the <strong>ultimate in powered mobility</strong> check out the <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533/shoprider-flagship-scooter-p561259.html">Shoprider Flagship Scooter</a> with a 75 mile battery capacity and windshield wipers.</p>
<p>4.  <strong>How will you store and transport your scooter?</strong></p>
<p>If you will carry your mobility scooter in your vehicle, you need to consider how much space you&#8217;ll need and the strength required to assemble and dis-assemble it.  Large-sized scooters usually cannot be disassembled and require a vehicle lift to transport.  Some of our customers have multiple scooters and other mobility devices to get them around.  This is ideal if you can afford it.</p>
<p>5.  <strong>Will health insurance pay for my power scooter?</strong></p>
<p>Proving medical necessity is the biggest hurdle in getting your medical insurance to pay a portion of your mobility scooter or power wheelchair cost.  Medicare&#8217;s requirements, typically copied by other insurance companies, are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>You must have a medical need for the equipment</li>
<li>It must be needed for use in the home and useful (fit) within the physical layout of your home.  The scooter or power wheelchair cannot be used mainly for leisure or recreation. </li>
<li>It cannot be <strong>only</strong> to get around outside your home</li>
<li>You must be <strong>unable</strong> to use a cane, walker or operate a manual wheelchair</li>
<li>Your doctor must be able to explain to the insurance company why, medically, you need the device, and that you can operate it safely</li>
</ul>
<p>If you think you qualify, contact your insurance company for a referral to a local provider.  If not, you are free to choose whatever your budget allows from Allegro&#8217;s large selection of <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/mobility-scooters-c533.html">mobility scooters</a>.  We are at your service!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2010 Winter Olympics start on February 12th and we are sure to see plenty of spills and thrills.  And though slips and falls are commonplace in the arena or on the slopes, they shouldn&#8217;t happen at home.  </p>
<p>It surprised me to learn that more than 1 million people in the U.S. experience a significant slip, trip or fall each year.  And an average of 17,000 of them die because of it. </p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.nsc.org/Pages/Home.aspx">National Safety Council</a>, <strong>70% of slips and falls occur on level ground</strong>, by everyday people like you and me.</p>
<p>The risks of falling increase as we age.  Annually, about 30% of those age 65 and older fall at least once, and 15% fall twice.  Many falls result in broken bones or death.  Of course there are risk groups among children as well.  Infants are more likely to fall from furniture, while toddlers are more likely to fall from windows. </p>
<p>The good news is that most falls are preventable.   What are you doing to prevent falls in and around your home?</p>
