Seniors and Other Individuals in the Market to Buy a Walker Turn to Standing Aids for the Extra Support They Need

(prHWY.com) September 5, 2012 - Sandy, UT -- Today, several individuals have become dependent on a walker as a result of old age, injury, or illness. Although walkers are an ideal
standing aid or mobility device, several walker brands lack necessary stability. Walkers used to help an individual move from a sitting to a standing position, or from a lying to a standing position are often liable to tip over because they have inadequate support. Stand Alone Mobility, a corporation that engineers senior mobility aids, has recently created a standing aid that helps seniors regain mobility without the fear of falling.
Providing Additional Support for Individuals Who Need Walkers
Stand Alone Mobility Aids has recently created a standing aid for anyone who has a need to buy a walker. Stand Alones
senior mobility aids are designed in such a way that they can be used on their own, or as a supplement to a walker. Unlike a walker, which helps an individual maintain balance in the walking and standing position, a standing aid provides the support for an elderly or injured individual to rise from a sitting or lying position. Each senior mobility aid is designed with a weighted base and an angled metal handhold. The device allows seniors to easily grasp the handhold from a laying or sitting position, and to then help themselves get up. Seniors can opt to have the standing aid installed at their bedside or near a frequently used chair for permanent use. Elderly individuals can also have their senior mobility aid installed with wheels to give them easy access to their walker or other rooms in the house.
Mobility Aids for the Injured:Â Providing Support until Recovery is Possible
Those who have undergone an injury or are experiencing an illness often need to
buy a walker for support reasons. Those with injured hips, knees, or legs usually find it difficult to not only move without a walker but also find that the task of moving from a sitting position may cause unnecessary strain. These individuals often choose to install a weighted standing aid near their couch or chair to help them move until they have fully recovered. Those who feel that the weight of the standing aid is inadequate can contact Stand Alone Mobility Aids to have additional weight added to their device.
