Product Information

Also in the United States the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association of America recommends using a footstool for the unaffected foot during static standing to promote weight shifting and balance. One board has a transfer disc which moves within a central slot; another has an integral roller which the person sits on and slides across the board. Sometimes a change in the way you carry out an activity or a different technique may help you to manage independently instead of using equipment.

Our foot and leg rests feature models that have an adjustable feature, helping to promote better blood flow. They work on the principle of a platform that raises through an arc of 90°, lifting the legs of the user to a position just beyond the horizontal, level with the mattress. If you find you would prefer a different service to the one offered by the local authority you can ask for a direct payment of money instead; since April 2003, this also applies to equipment the local authority may offer you. If a roller is left in position it is important to ensure the person will not accidentally slip out of bed.

With a top 1'' deluxe memory foam top, the Putnam Memory Foam Bed Wedge is the ultimate in leg pressure relief. Equipment such as hand blocks or lifting poles can enable some people to lift part of their own weight whilst the carer is assisting them to move. They have a pressure sensitive plate, which is placed under the mattress and will set off an alarm when the person gets out of bed.

Sports injury clinics say that using a footstool for getting the last few degrees of leg extension in the latter stages of a rehabilitation process really has a meaningful effect on recovery. If you’ve ever sprained an ankle, you probably followed the classic acronym RICE to take care of it: rest, ice, compression and elevating the limb above the heart. The different authorities now have a legal duty to work together to try and ensure equipment is provided as quickly as possible after an assessment of need is agreed.When lying down in bed this extremely comfortable position is ideal for resting tired legs and feet. Guidance on spaces and safety can be found in the 2001 bulletin from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency entitled Advice on the safe use of bed rails. The trays are available with raised edges, recesses for plates and cups and slip-resistant tray mats.
