The problem of locomotion is one of the biggest concerns for the elderly.
Degeneration of bones and tissues can cause bone related disorders, limiting the person's ability to move around freely.
Arthritis, knee replacement therapy, fractures and immobility are some of the common ailments elderly suffer these days.
With innovation in science and technology, moving around from one place to another for the elderly has become simplified like never before.
For people finding it difficult to maneuver manual wheelchairs around, electric ones are an easier option to make.
The speed, direction and the distance you want to cover can be controlled by moving a joystick placing extremely minimal stress on your shoulders and hands.
A simple movement of your fingers on the joystick will take you to your desired position.
This way, you need not depend on others to get you around a certain place making you feel independent and stress free.
If the elevator were out of order, climbing the stairs would turn out to be a very stressful job for someone who has undergone a knee replacement surgery or is suffering from arthritis and bone related disorders.
If you are one of them, then you can simply invest on a stair lift.
These devices are attached to the railings of the staircase against the wall.
All you have to do is sit on them and control the keys in the front to take you up or down the stair.
These are generally run on electricity and are very safe to use.
These lifts can be used on curved staircases as well.
