By Linda Ruiz


There are individuals who are having troubles in moving within their houses and in public places. These individuals may have broken their backs or legs, or may be blind. This is the case especially of those people who have encountered certain accidents.

For this matter, companies have thought of producing items that could help these persons in moving around their homes or in public places. A lot of companies are selling mobility products which could include canes, wheelchairs, scooters, and the like. There are several things that a disabled person should keep in mind prior to buying one of these products.

No matter what type of commodity an individual will be using, he should check with a professional therapist about the item that will be best for him. They generally have the necessary product knowledge and can recommend the best item. They may also be able to recommend a number of companies selling these items.

He needs to check if there are any discounts being offered for these stuff. Discounted prices will certainly be an additional saving on his part. Most companies who are affiliated with a specific therapist will certainly be able to grant discounts off the purchase price especially if the patient is a long time customer.

Different organizations selling these items also have different rates for the products. The prices for the same product may vary from one store to another. He needs to inquire several establishments, about three to five, about their rates. With this procedure, he will be able to compare the prices provided to him.

He should have someone with him, like a member of the family or a known friend when he walks into a store. They can assist him when he tries the products on, like the wheelchairs. There are establishments who are allowing patients to maneuver a certain good. He will also have someone who can bear witness to what the seller is giving as information.

Using the item for a certain length of time is usually allowed by a certain number of establishments. The patient can use the product in a period of five days to one week. In these cases, there should be a written document that stipulates the conditions for the said use, such as how much will be paying for the duration, if there are any, the consequences that he may face in case the item gets damaged within the said length of time, and other necessary stipulations.

The patient can also ask the establishment for the list of other customers who have bought their items. He can call these customers and ask if they are satisfied with the good. These customers will certainly tell positive comments about the commodity if it is, indeed, a good one.

Once he has decided on a certain commodity that he plans on buying, he should be able to ensure that they have agreed on the prices as well as for the discounts that could possible be granted to him. It will be good if these terms are also put into writing. It will be good as well if he can keep the receipt and any written agreement that they may have so that in cases that disputes arise, he has documents with him.
