Toe Washer
Thursday 18 June, 2009
If you aren't able to bend easily and have trouble getting to your toes, this toe washer is brilliant. It's like having a fine-guage flannel (the white pad at the bottom) on a firm, long stick with a nice large easy-to-grip handle at the end. I bought one when my hip deteriorated so much that I could no longer reach my toes.
Basketweave Commode Chair
Tuesday 17 February, 2009
I have a Basket Weave Commode by my bed. It is extremely comfortable to use. I am a diabetic and need to get up at least twice per night. The commode aids sleep more easily and is safer than wandering around to the loo in the middle of the night. It is easy to keep clean and fits well in the bedroom. I am not old but with my condition it is essential. I have had it for 10 years. Jonathan Baker aged 50

Lightweight Transit Wheelchair With Attendant Brakes
Tuesday 11 November, 2008
Contacted A.M.C. by phone. Staff were very helpful and arranged delivery on a day to suit me. The wheelchair arrived on the day as arranged . The description on the internet site was exactly correct. As I only took delivery today have not yet had chance to \'\'drive\'\' outdoors, but having tried indoors, I am looking forward to the rain to go so that I may have an outing outdoors The wheelchair is the Escape Lite model. Thanks again to the staff [ Tracy} for the help given. Yours sincerely K BAILEY
Basketweave Commode Chair
Saturday 25 October, 2008
I have a Basketweave Commode Chair in my bedroom and is extremely comfortable to use at night. I am a diabetic treated by insulin and need to drink adequately to control the blood sugars. As a consequence I need to use this chair while in a sleepy state. The chair I feel fits in any room without any embarrassment to visitors and also doubles as a bed chair

Scooter Storage Cover-Economy
Monday 22 May, 2006
I have just bought my secondn 3 Wheeled storage cover. The first is still going but the rubber coating is beginning to deteriorate. My scooter lives outside 365 days a year 24/7. The cover has protected my scooter from snow through to torrential rain. It's only in the last month that the rubber coating has begun to deteriorate and let in some water. I've had just over 2 years from my first cover, not bad for ?25. Its brilliant so I just odered a new one. 'nuff said!!

Backrest Prop-up Bed Wedge
Wednesday 15 February, 2006
I LOVE these - have had a few courtesy of my district nursing team/OTs over the years, and have found them just great. I like the option of being able to have it in two different positions, plus it's soft and smooth (unlike some other variants with metal/webbing). The only problems I've ever had are in getting a cover for them as they're an awkward size, and also that the foam on the ones I've had has, over time, deteriorated if it is left uncovered for a long time. But other than that, there's really no problem at all and I can happily recommend it to anyone looking for a soft easy manoeuvrable backrest.

Book and Magazine Stand

I used this while in hospital recently because I have nerve entrapment in my arms/hands, and have to say it was really quite good. Did have a lot of problems though with the metal 'arm' bookmark idea - made it quite awkward to get pages held where it wasn't in the way at some point and needing shifted, which if you only had one hand to hold it, was extremely difficult. I think the holder is ok on its own perhaps, but I'd use a different type of bookmark with it to make it worthwhile investing in. :)

Non-Spill Cup
Sunday 12 February, 2006
I currently have severe nerve entrapment in both arms causing loads of problems with my hands in particular for gripping things. I also have a bedroom with a nice new plush cream carpet, and I drink Coke. Put those two together and you can see where I might have some problems overnight!! Used to use a heavyweight glass (to make it less easily knocked over) but then discovered this (after first trying my OT's without success), and it's proving a lifesaver. Not only does it truly live up to its claims of no spill (more so if you don't use a straw with it as I have to), but it's just the right size too for a fizzy drink to not be able to put too much in and waste it overnight. HIGHLY recommended to anyone with hand issues whether pain or gripping problems. :-)

Trio Maxi Seat Stick
Tuesday 11 October, 2005
I bought one of these sticks some years ago and I don't know where. I could not go out without it. It is light weight, a GOOD seat height unlike so many others. It supports me walking and easily flips open when need to sit. People(elderly, disabled and tourists!) stop me in the street to ask where I bought it. I didn't know but now I can point them to your site. The only disadvantage to this tripod is that it can be easy to trip up passers by (but sometimes maybe that would be a good thing when people rush past and create an unsteadying vortex!) I highly recommend it.

I purchased this product directly from the Active Mobility Store in Scarborough. I'm very pleased with it as it supports my right wrist when doing my keyboarding skills at my workplace.

Bed Leg Rest
Sunday 08 May, 2005
I have CFS/ME and have found the leg rest excellent. It supports my legs much more effectively than the 5 pillows I had been using, and doesn't move around in the night. The support it provides helps with the pain in my muscles and joints in my legs. Active Mobility supply the leg rest at a reasonable price and with reasonable p&p. The leg rest was delivered quickly.

I have one of the Leg Rest, I sleep with it every night. It has dramatically improved the circulation in my legs and especially my feet, which needed the most help! It is definitely worth the investment!

Folding Trolley Walker
Wednesday 29 September, 2004
My thoughts echo Allan Shearer's. Until a few months ago I could walk with one stick, but cooking and kitchen chores were difficult with only one free hand, painful, and could be dangerous. Now the time has come when I really need two sticks or a two-handed walking aid, and this trolley fits the bill perfectly, steady enough to lean on and with plenty of shelf space. A bonus is that is easily folds flat and can be tucked out of the way if need be. It has my heartiest recommendation.

Folding Trolley Walker
Saturday 25 September, 2004
Many thanks for the trolley, received yesterday. It is already a great boon - my wife and I have always shared the cooking and kitchen chores, and until yesterday it was getting more and more difficult, tiring and painful to do my bit. The trolley lets me carry things like pans full of hot water, which I have not dared to do lately, and of course saves walking as it carries many things at once. I would heartily recommend the trolley for indoor use to anyone with walking difficulties.

Fingerless Wheelchair Gloves
Saturday 04 September, 2004
Very well made glove with good padding and strengthening. The thumb was a little short, but I do have long fingers! With the glove being leather I am sure they will stretch with time. Recommended.

Scooter Storage Cover-Economy
Wednesday 14 April, 2004
I bought a Breeze last summer which due to its size lives outside all year round. I purchased the economy 3 wheeled cover to replace what I was previously using. The cover is brilliant - we had torrential rain shortly after I bought it and it kept my scooter bone dry. In addition, there does not seem to be any condensation problems which I have experienced with other types of cover. The product is lightweight (so you can fold it and carry it with you if you need to), easy to fit and take off, the elasticated bottom ensures a snug fit. At ?25 its a bargain - so get one!
