Adaptive Equipment

 

Occupational, Speech and Physical Therapists can recommend adaptive and assistive equipment to help improve independence with mobility and function in activities of daily living.  

 

The therapists are able to help you make an informed decision about which piece of equipment may benefit you the most.

 

Common durable medical equipment includes:

  • Air pillows for low back support while sitting
  • Home cervical traction with equipment that supports the head without pressure on the jaw
  • TENS units for pain control
  • Orthotics for proper arch support for your feet
  • Cervical collars for splinting of the neck
  • Extremity supports and braces for protection
  • Assistive devices for gait
