When the elderly need AIDS in their daily life or rehabilitation care, people often only consider the AIDS themselves, and think that they can be bought from the store. Some places only sell and deliver; some places have adaptation, but the adaptation process is still at the surface, and no comprehensive assessment is taken for individual cases - the assistive devices used for the elderly must be connected with their obstacles, difficulties in activities, personal needs, use environment, etc.
When selecting assistive devices for the elderly, the following factors need to be considered
(1) Consider whether it is most appropriate for the actual needs of the elderly. Whether the selection of assistive devices for the elderly is effective depends not only on the price and the technological content of the products, but also on whether the assistive devices are most suitable for the needs of the elderly.
(2) Consider disability and lack of function. When selecting auxiliary equipment, first of all, the user's disability shall be considered, and the product shall be selected according to the degree of disability and the situation of dysfunction. For example, although it is also a lower extremity disability caused by stroke sequelae, due to different degrees of disability, the need for assistive devices is also different. People with slight disability can walk without any assistive devices. It may just be that the gait is not very good. For people with slight disability, the disabled legs may need to be equipped with orthotics or a walking stick.
(3) Consider the patient's physical data (age, weight, height, past medical history, etc.).
(4) Consider the user's living environment. For example, the elderly who move themselves by wheelchair need to go to the toilet if they can swing the wheelchair into the toilet and sit on the toilet. If the door of the toilet is too narrow, the wheelchair can't enter; even if the wheelchair can enter the door, if the area of the toilet is too small, the wheelchair can't rotate in it, then it's necessary to consider to provide the disabled person with a seat stool or chair. (5) Consider the user's economic conditions, or that sentence, the most suitable for him is the best!
