Assistive devices that require personal assessment can be borrowed by appointment. They include devices such as active wheelchairs and patient lifts.
Most of the assistive devices are ones that have been used previously, which have been cleaned and maintained.
You will receive a customised or other personal assistive device, such as a prosthesis, orthopaedic shoes, compression stockings or a wig, on your first visit subject to the doctor's or therapist's discretion. A rehabilitation planner is responsible for personal assistive devices.
We will provide guidance on how to use the assistive device. Our services also include assistive device replacement and maintenance.
