New Mobility Website

The British Columbia Institute of Technology has created a new website that provides information for Seniors and their families about mobility devices. Several publications are available on their website:

• Frequently Asked Questions - includes information about canes, walkers, scooters, grab bars, and hip protectors
  
• Tips on how to make your bathroom safe
• Tips on how to stay healthy, mobile, and independent
• A guide for baby-boomers to talk to their parents about mobility

Assistive devices (also called assistive technology) include more than just mobility devices - they are items that can help you to see, communicate, pick up items, etc. For more information about assistive devices, please see these webpages:

• Assistive Technology from the Administration on Aging
• Assistive Devices from MedlinePlus
• Assistive Technology from Disability.gov
• Mobility Aids from MedlinePlus
