Remaining mobile
The more mobile the person
remains, the better it will be for their health, and the easier for those
around them to manage. Look for ways to help the person remain mobile.
If the person becomes unsteady on
their feet, an occupational therapist should be able to provide information on
aids and equipment, such as grab rails, to help them move around
If the person spends a lot of
time sitting down, they will need a firm, comfortable chair that is easy for
them to sit down in and get up from.
If the person needs support when
they move around, an occupational therapist or physiotherapist can give advice
on how carers can safely give them the support they need without injuring
themselves.
There are many chair based
exercises that can help someone to stay mobile, such as raising legs in
isolation.
