Adaptive Equipment

Adaptive equipment helps stroke patients experience greater independence with everyday life skills or activities of daily living. There is a plethora of assistive devices for all areas of self care including dressing, bathing, grooming, cooking, feeding, toileting, and mobility aids.

Most people, understandably, want to retain the habit of  performing everyday self-care tasks independently on their own.  Fortunately, daily tasks become easy, comfortable and painless with only slight alterations made during various tasks.
