It is very important to consider personal and health factors when choosing a mobility device. Our company, Seattle Mobility Solutions, provides a range of mobility aids that include wheelchairs, walking frames, scooters, canes, walkers, etc to help meet the needs of diverse individuals with varying mobility conditions. To determine the best fit, it is recommended to seek assistance from a healthcare professional and consider factors that may necessitate your choice of mobility aid. These could be factors such as the type of injury, comfort and ability to progress through different aids.
Seattle Mobility Solutions offers a number of mobility equipment that will help you move around with ease, have the ability to perform everyday tasks and live independently. We hire and sell a variety of mobility aids for a range of different conditions and goals. These are: –
a. Wheelchairs
Wheelchairs can be an important aid for those who have difficulty walking due to conditions such as paralysis, musculoskeletal issues, broken bones or leg injuries. It is important to consult a doctor to determine if a wheelchair is needed in one’s condition. Once a doctor has approved the kind of equipment to use, we at Seattle Mobility Solutions, will offer you a variety of wheelchairs, including self-propelled, heavy-duty, and lightweight options, that can be rented or purchased to provide convenience and comfort for those with limited mobility.
Our wheelchairs come in different varieties to cater to your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that you find the right fit and solution. Whether you’re looking for a self-propelled option, heavy duty model or a lightweight option, Seattle Mobility Solutions has got you covered. With the comfort and convenience of our wheelchairs, you can continue to lead an active and fulfilling life, even with limited mobility.
b. Recliner Chairs
Recliner chairs are another type of mobility equipment that we offer at Seattle Mobility Solutions. These chairs are designed to recline to a comfortable position, allowing the user to relax and rest their legs. Recliner chairs are ideal for those who experience pain or discomfort while sitting, those who have trouble getting in and out of a regular chair or those who need a comfortable place to rest while recovering from an injury or surgery. They come in a range of styles and sizes, and can be customized to meet individual needs and preferences. So, whether you’re looking for a comfortable chair to relax in at home or you need a mobility aid that provides extra support and comfort, Seattle Mobility Solutions has a range of recliner chairs to meet your needs.
c. Mobility Scooters
Mobility scooters are an option for people who have trouble walking for extended periods of time or have trouble managing a walker, cane, or crutches.
Scooters allow for the user to have their feet rest on foot plates, as steering wheels control direction of motion.
Mobility scooters are beneficial for those without the upper body strength or flexibility to use a manual wheelchair.
They are also useful for people who need to conserve energy, as they do not require physical exertion. Scooters are also used by people who are not allowed to drive cars for medical reasons. There are various types of scooters available, including excursion scooters for easy travel and heavy-duty scooters for outdoor use. With a mobility scooter, people can regain independence and move around with ease. Seattle Mobility Solutions offers a range of mobility scooters for rent, with super affordable prices as well. We train you on how to use them and make sure you are comfortable to use them on your own too.

d. Walkers
We offer walking frames that are designed for use over short–medium distances. A walker is a device used by those who have difficulty walking, to help improve stability, safety, and maneuverability. It has four points of contact with the ground. It usually has three sides with the side closest to the patient being open. It provides a wider base of support than a walking stick, so it is used more to stabilize patients with poor balance and mobility or lower extremity impairment. It is suitable for people who have limited upper body strength.
e. Canes
A cane is a single-point walking aid that provides support and stability when walking. Canes come in various sizes and styles. This may include adjustable, folding, and quad canes. Canes are typically used for individuals with mild mobility issues, balance problems, or as a temporary aid after an injury or surgery. Canes can be helpful for people with conditions such as arthritis, weak knee joints, or hip pains.
f. Crutches
Crutches are two-point walking aids that provide support and stability when walking. They are used by individuals with temporary or permanent mobility problems, balance issues, or lower limb injuries. Crutches come in different styles, including underarm crutches and forearm crutches. They are suitable for individuals with moderate to severe mobility problems and those who have difficulty using a cane or a walker. In conclusion, the type of mobility device that one requires greatly depends on personal and health factors.
As mentioned, it is important to consult with a doctor or a physical therapist to determine the right type of equipment that would best suit one’s needs and goals.
Seattle Mobility Solutions will provide you with a wide range of mobility devices, including wheelchairs, scooters, strollers, walking frames, canes, and crutches, to help people achieve greater mobility.
