Transportation Products for a Stroke Survivor

While many people who have suffered a stroke may become depressed or recluse because of their limited motor abilities, one must remember that getting out of the house is one of the best things they can do to improve motor abilities. Going back out into the real-world after a stroke is the first step in dealing with certain impairments, and is a great motivator to improve motor skills. In order to get outdoors, however, the proper care must be taken for the person by using the right independent living products.

Having a versatile wheelchair is something that a stroke patient shouldn’t be without. Depending on how well the person is able to move their arms, we offer both electric scooters and manual wheelchairs. The Drive Pollywog Self Propelled Transport Wheelchair is a manual wheelchair that proves as a great mode of transportation. With the ability to have another push it -or the user push it- this wheelchair provides a comfortable way to get outdoors and excited for the day. The lightweight design of the wheelchair also provides easy transportation, so there’s no need to worry about lugging one around. For the next step in advancing one’s walking capabilities, the Dana Douglas Nexus III Rollator Walker is perfect for those who are learning the process of walking again.

If distance is a problem, the Phoenix Power Mobility Scooter will help the stroke patient move at their own ease with a ‘finger pull’ throttle and stable design. This scooter allows you to travel for up to 10 miles as well, providing you with plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors. If there’s an even further place you like to visit from your home, you can get there using the Harmar Micro Scooter Lift or Silver Star Caddy Wheelchair Carrier. Both of these products securely carry scooters or wheelchairs with ease.

Remember, the key to a good recovery is getting back into the routine you used to have before suffering the stroke. Going outside is a rewarding experience in itself, so don’t be afraid to do it! Independent living products are here to help you on your road to recovery.
