If you or someone you love has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. Chances are, there is a great deal of information being thrown at you from many sources, ranging from doctors and caregivers to friends and family, and sorting through it all can be a challenge. Clearly there is a lot to think about, including where to obtain diabetic supplies, how to devise the best food plan, which diabetes medications you might need, and more. You might also need to learn to operate medical equipment that is unfamiliar to you, such as a glucose meter or even an insulin pump, and you might be faced with giving yourself injections as well.

With all of the potential changes above, it’s no wonder many feel overwhelmed when first learning to live with diabetes. But it’s important to remember something: You are the same person the day you hear this diagnosis as you were the day before. So take a deep breath, and let yourself relax a little. Just because you have some new challenges to deal with doesn’t mean you’ve lost who you are or that you now have to identify yourself with your condition. In fact, over time, diabetes can simply become another facet in your life, not a defining condition.

You’re not alone
Something that is important to keep in mind when facing any disease is that you don’t have to go through it alone. All those people who are giving you advice can be a big help to you if you think of them as your personal medical team. Don’t be afraid to turn it around and take charge of your health by directing your team and letting them know how they can help and how you would prefer they deliver that help. If you’re feeling flooded with information, speak up and ask for the flow of data to slow down. Your primary MD will be your main source of quality information, and he or she should always be open to you taking control of your health. Well-meaning friends and family who truly want what’s best for you should also respect your wishes. Often it’s just a matter of asking.

In addition to your primary care physician, you’ll also want to speak with a nutritionist or dietician who can help you with determining a good meal plan. And a trip to your eye doctor is in order too. A potential complication of diabetes is retinopathy, and it’s important that you stay on top of your eye health. Additionally, your doctor might refer you to a certified diabetes educator (CDE) who can teach you what you need to know about managing your diabetes. Again, this seems like a lot of people to deal with and a ton of information you’ll need to keep track of, but it doesn’t all need to be absorbed in one day. Take your condition seriously, but take the time you need to adjust to your diagnosis.

The bottom line
While a diabetes diagnosis isn’t something anyone wants, it does not have to be the end of the world. With proper management and a positive attitude, diabetics live very normal lives. Again, the condition is not you. It is merely another facet of your life, and one that doesn’t have to take over. In fact, even when it comes to those things you need to do daily, like testing your blood sugar, the reality is, it takes so little time that your life really won’t seem all that different from before. And because (if you follow your medical team’s advice) you’ll be eating better and exercising, you just might start to feel better than ever!

Wheelchair and Scooter Friendly Homes: Simple Changes You can Make Yourself

2010-08-27T15:43:00.001-07:00

If you’ve recently begun using a wheelchair or mobility scooter to get around, you might be feeling a great mix of emotions. One of the most common feelings can be frustration caused by challenges you’re likely to face in a home that was not designed or decorated for someone using a mobility device. The good news is that, when it comes to making your home easier to navigate with a wheelchair or scooter, many of the changes that make the most difference are easily performed without major work or cost.

Here are 5 simple home-modifications that cost little or nothing to perform:

1. Remove loose carpets and rugs. Especially if you have hardwood or tile floors, loose floor coverings can be a frustrating obstacle for wheelchairs and scooters. Removing them obviously doesn’t cost anything, and it can make a big difference in your ability to easily navigate your home. Alternatively, an adhesive backing can be used to hold rugs in place.

2. Move furniture to accommodate your mobility device. This seems obvious, but many people don’t know just how much room is needed for their mobility device. As a general rule, arrange furniture to allow at least a 32-inch path and 5-foot turning radius. Some furniture might need to be removed altogether to accommodate this.

3. Tie strings to your door handles. To allow a wheelchair or scooter user to more easily pull a door closed while passing through doorways, add a 36-inch string to each door handle in your home. This comes with little to no cost, and it makes a big difference. If you don’t want plain ugly strings hanging from your doors, you can always use colored yarn or decorative ribbon!

4. Raise your tables and desks. To bring some tables and desks to above knee level, it might be necessary to place furniture coasters or blocks of wood under their legs. Again, let your creativity take over with this project to avoid big, ugly wooden blocks under your tables. Whatever you use, just be sure the table or desk is sturdy and can’t easily be knocked off its footings when you’re done.

5. Spruce up your device! One thing that can be challenging to get used to when first using a mobility device is the difficulty in carrying items and maneuvering at the same time. To help with this, equip your wheelchair or scooter with accessories to help carry everything from books and clothes, to drinks and medical necessities.

One last tip: While it doesn’t have to do with accessibility, it is important that you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home, and make sure the batteries are checked frequently. As it might take a little longer to get out of your home in an emergency, it is critical that you have early warning in these cases.

So, there you go! Some changes that will make a huge difference in your ability to get around your home in a wheelchair or scooter, that won’t break the bank or cause a lot of disruption. As always, if you have questions about equipment you have purchased or are considering, contact All Time Medical, and we’ll be happy to help any way we can.

Ask an Expert - Handcycles

Chris Peterson has been designing handcycles since 1990 for Top End. He has worked relentlessly through the years on improving them to be fast and competitive. Always pushing the envelope, Peterson was instrumental in helping competitive handcycling to grow and develop as a sport. The rules for handcycling do not exclude able-bodied individuals which gives Peterson a chance to personally test out his designs. Not to be left out, Peterson is a competitive handcylist and consistently finishes in the top 10 both in Europe and the USA.

How do I figure out which is the best handcycle for me?
The first question to ask yourself is “Why do I want one? Is it for recreation or am I more serious and plan to race or go on long distance rides?” If recreation is your goal, the Excelerator and XLT are great models as they feature a low maintenance 7 speed hub with reverse hands-on braking. For racing, long distances or hilly terrain your best ride are the handcycles in the Top End Force Series or XLT PRO.
What are the main differences between the Top End Force, Force G and XLT PRO?
The Top End Force is an arm-powered, super-reclined, lay down, low to the ground, aerodynamic handycle that compares to what everyone in Europe is using. The XLT PRO offers a reclined position but a higher seat height than the Force. The Force G is primarily a trunk powered unit and best for those with great trunk control.
I want to go the distance, possibly race. Which seating position should I choose?
This really depends on your goals and your disability. There are three different positions: the recumbent position, the trunk powered position and the kneeling position. • The recumbent style is when you are reclined in a semi-lying position using mostly arm, shoulder and chest muscles. It is relaxed and very aerodynamic. This position is preferred by paraplegics (T10 level and above) and quadriplegics. • The trunk-powered position is a position where you sit up straighter utilizing a rocking motion that applies your whole upper body including your trunk. For this position you need good balance. • The third position is the kneeling or amputee position and this requires excellent balance. You sit flat or angled downhill and then lean forward to generate power.
How fast will I go?
Speed depends on your seating position, fitness level and disability. Top speed of over 30 MPH are possible. I train with other riders, (even able bodied ones) plus use a cordless speedometer and heart rate monitor to help me get faster.
What crank width is best?
Crank width is dependant on shoulder width and leg clearance requirements. A good rule of thumb would be to measure shoulder width and add a couple of inches.
How do I determine the best crank length and width?
The crank length is not necessarily determined by the length of the cycler's arms. Most competitive racers in Force handcycles are using shorter (170mm - 185mm) and narrower (14" - 16") crank arms and spinning rather than muscling the gears. The crank height and back placement are positioned to make sure the cranks don't hit the legs or chest rather than the crank length being compromised for this situation. A strong cycler may want to have longer cranks to increase the leverage he/she is able to generate into the crank but the longer crank arms could wear down a newer or weaker cycler. Making smaller crank circles does not cause the cycler to exert as much energy. The crank width is more determined by the chest and leg widths. This is especially true with the Force G handcycle when the cycler's torso is used to crank and is sometimes positioned slightly over the crank assembly and the S cranks are used to clear the chest and legs. Generally speaking, it is best for a new handcycle owner to choose the standard lengths and widths listed on the order form. The crank arms are easily replaceable and after the cycler has used them for some time, he/she will be able to make a better decision about these dimensions.
What crank length should I choose?
The cranks should complement your sitting position and body size. At the end of your peddle stroke your arms should be slightly bent and not fully extended. The more you move your body the longer the crank can be. Most people in the reclined position use crank lengths between 170-200 mm. Top End crank arms are designed so that they can be changed easily to try a different length.

Tip #9 - Beware of blood-pressure & pain reliever mix.

2009-11-02T10:54:00.000-08:00

Did you know that extended use of some over-the-counter (OTC)pain relievers like Advil may interfere with some high blood-pressure medications and even elevate blood-pressure?

The pain relievers of concern belong to a group known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs or NSAIDs, These drugs work by blocking the body's production of prostaglandins, substances which play a role in inflammation and fever.

The problem is that by blocking prostaglandin production, NSAID pain relievers may prevent your blood-pressure medication from working properly. In addition, NSAIDs themselves may increase blood-pressure and can cause salt and water retention in the body.

What can be done about it?
Tylenol and other pain relievers that have acetaminophen as the active ingredient may be less problematic. Acetaminophen has not been shown to have any negative effects on blood-pressure medications. In any case, be sure to talk to your doctor before using any OTC pain reliever for more than 10 days. Be SMART about the medications you take and their effect on your body.

Tip #8 - How sleep affects your blood-pressure.

2009-11-02T10:44:00.000-08:00

This may sound trivial but it's important to acknowledge that sleeping well can help lower blood-pressure. Here are some facts and suggestions for getting a good night's sleep, every night.

Get plenty of sleep - When you are refreshed, you're better able to tackle the next day's problems, allowing you to avoid and better cope with stress. If you have difficulty falling asleep, try keeping a schedule; going to sleep. and awakening at a consistent time each day. A bedtime ritual such as taking a warm bath, reading or eating a light snack helps many people relax.
Make sure you sleep healthily - People with high blood-pressure are more likely to suffer from a condition called sleep apnea. In this potentially serious sleep disorder, breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Apnea is Greek for "without breath."
If you have been told that you snore loudly or you wake up feeling tired after a full night's sleep or you are sleepy during the day, it may be worthwhile to learn more about sleep apnea. For more information from the Mayo Clinic. Sleep Center click here.

Bedsores (pressure sores)

2009-08-26T07:00:00.000-07:00

Bedsores, more accurately called pressure sores or pressure ulcers, are areas of damaged skin and tissue that develop when sustained pressure cuts off circulation to vulnerable parts of your body, especially the skin on your buttocks, hips and heels. Without adequate blood flow, the affected tissue dies.

Although people living with paralysis are especially at risk, anyone who is bedridden, uses a wheelchair or is unable to change positions without help can develop bedsores.

Bedsores can develop quickly, progress rapidly and are often difficult to heal. Yet health experts say many of these wounds don't have to occur. Key preventive measures can maintain the skin's integrity and encourage healing of bedsores.

Prevention

Bedsores are easier to prevent than to treat, but that doesn't mean the process is easy or uncomplicated. Although wounds can develop in spite of the most scrupulous care, it's possible to prevent them in many cases.

The first step is to work with your nurses and doctor to develop a plan that you and any caregivers can follow. The cornerstones of such a plan include position changes along with supportive devices, daily skin inspections and a maximally nutritious diet.

Position changes

Changing your position frequently and consistently is crucial to preventing bedsores. It takes just a few hours of immobility for a pressure sore to begin to form. For that reason, experts advise shifting position about every 15 minutes that you're in a wheelchair and at least once every two hours, even during the night, if you spend most of your time in bed. If you can't move on your own, a family member or caregiver must be available to help you.

A physical therapist can advise you on the best ways to position yourself in bed, but here are some general guidelines:

Avoid lying directly on your hipbones. On your side, lie at a 30-degree angle
Support your legs correctly. When lying on your back, place a foam pad or pillow — not a doughnut-shaped cushion — under your legs from the middle of your calf to your ankle. Avoid placing a support directly behind your knee — it can severely restrict blood flow.
Keep your knees and ankles from touching. Use small pillows or pads.

Avoid raising the head of the bed more than 30 degrees. A higher incline makes it more likely that you'll slide down, putting you at risk of friction and shearing injuries. If the bed needs to be higher when you eat, place pillows or foam wedges at your hips and shoulders to help maintain alignment.
Use a pressure-reducing mattress or bed. You have many options, including foam, air, gel or water mattresses. Because these can vary widely in price and effectiveness, talk to your doctor about the best choice for you. For some people, a low-air-loss mattress may provide enough support. But more expensive and technologically sophisticated beds may be needed for people who have recurring pressure sores or who are at very high risk

Pressure-release wheelchairs, which tilt to redistribute pressure, may make sitting for long periods easier and more comfortable. If you don't have a pressure-release chair, you or your caregiver will need to manually change your position every 15 minutes or so. If you have movement and enough strength in your upper body, you can do wheelchair push-ups — raising your body off the seat by pushing on the arms of the chair.

All wheelchairs need cushions that reduce pressure and provide maximum support and comfort. Various cushions are available, including foam, gel, and water- or air-filled cushions. Although they may help relieve pressure, cushions and other devices don't prevent pressure sores from forming or replace the need to change your position often.

Tip #7 - Can supplements lower blood-pressure?

According to the Mayo Clinic, some dietary supplements may help you lower your blood-pressure to a certain degree. The following supplements are categorized by the strength of the scientific evidence that shows they lower blood-pressure. Be careful when taking supplements. They can do more harm than good if used inappropriately.

Strong evidence for lowering blood-pressure: Omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil, alpha-linolenic acid
Good evidence for lowering blood-pressure: Coenzyme Q10
Unclear evidence for lowering blood-pressure: Garlic

Tip #6 - Exercise your way to lower blood-pressure.

2009-06-26T13:52:00.000-07:00

In addition to diet, it's likely that your doctor has also mentioned that
physical exercise can help lower blood-pressure. But did you know that mild
exercise, such as walking, may reduce blood-pressure just as much or even more
than strenuous activities, such as jogging? The good news is that every bit of
activity counts.

A recent statement prepared jointly by the American College of
Sports Medicine and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you accumulate 30 minutes or more of exercise on most days of the week.

For the American College of Sports Medicine white paper about exercising your way to lower blood-pressure Click Here.

In addition, here are few fun gadgets available on the market that can help you keep track of your activity.

A rather inexpensive pedometer can help you reach your goals counting steps, aerobic steps, distance in miles and calories burned.

If you want to be more scientific, you might want to also use a heart rate monitor.

Tip #5 - Can your diet help lower blood-pressure?

2009-06-15T18:57:00.000-07:00

Tip #5 - Can your diet help lower blood-pressure?

Ok, we are sure your doctor has told you (on more than one occasion) that losing extra weight and eating better can reduce high blood-pressure.

As we know it is "easier said than done," we thought we'd provide you with few facts and tools that can help.

If you are overweight, every 10 pound (4.5 Kg) reduction can lower blood-pressure by 5-20 points.
Reducing sodium intake for salt sensitive people was shown to reduce BP 2-8 points.
Limiting your alcohol consumption to two glasses for men and one glass for women (and light weighted individuals) can lower blood-pressure by 2-4 points.
Cutting caffeine can also make a difference.

The "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension" (DASH) project funded by the National Institutes of Health demonstrated that people who adhered to this diet, which is rich in potassium and calcium and limits fat and sodium, were able to reduce BP 8-14 points within just 8 weeks.

Tip #4 - How to deal with

2009-06-15T18:46:00.000-07:00

Tip #4 - How to deal with"blood-pressure elevating" stress.

It is common wisdom that stress can momentarily elevate your blood-pressure. In fact, many scientists believe that our highly stressed modern way of life is one of the underlying causes of high blood-pressure (hypertension).

Risks increase over the long term

According to the Mayo Clinic on High Blood Pressure, "The effects of acute stress are usually only temporary. However, if you experience stress regularly, the increases in blood-pressure that it produces over time damage your arteries, heart, brain, kidneys and eyes -- just as with persistent high blood-pressure. This cumulative effect of stress often goes unrecognized until it manifests itself as a serious health problem."

So what can be done about it?

To reduce stress, relaxation is always recommended, however in most cases it is impractical. Here are some suggestions you can try instead:

If you are about to embark on a stressful situation (i.e. phone call, walking into the boss's office), take a few deep breaths and exhale slowly. While this simple breathing maneuver will not provide a sustained reduction, it can certainly reduce the temporary BP elevation, which is important in itself.
Practicing meditation, yoga and other techniques which incorporate slow breathing exercises enable better coping with stressful events and in some cases even lower blood-pressure.

Tip #3 - Do you suffer from "white-coat" hypertension?

2009-03-16T08:00:00.000-07:00

What is "white-coat" hypertension?
If your home blood-pressure measurements are consistently lower than blood-pressure measured at your doctor's office, you might suffer from a common condition called "white-coat" hypertension.
So what is your real blood-pressure?
Both measurements are true. Physiologically, "white-coat" hypertension means that your body is probably more reactive to stressful events. This means that you probably have elevated blood-pressure many times during the day that you may not be aware of.
Should I be concerned about "white-coat" hypertension?
"White-Coat" hypertension is not as dangerous as sustained hypertension (hypertension which is present all the time). However, individuals who have "white-coat" hypertension may have a higher risk of complications and cardiovascular disease than those with completely normal blood-pressure all the time. Another risk of "white-coat" hypertension is that individuals with this condition may develop sustained hypertension at a later time.
So what can be done about it?
Learn how to deal with daily stress. More on this in tomorrow's tip.
Daily home blood-pressure monitoring has been shown to somewhat reduce "white-coat" hypertension, although it's not clear if it reduces the long term risk of high reactivity to stress.
RESPeRATE has been proven to virtually eliminate "white-coat" hypertension. Dr. William Elliot presented these findings at the 2005 American Society of Hypertension annual meeting.

Tip #2 - Are you measuring your blood-pressure correctly?

2009-03-16T07:51:00.000-07:00

Did you know that 26% of all people who are told they have high blood-pressure are misdiagnosed and are either over treated or under treated?
Here are a few tips on how to measure blood-pressure correctly. It may seem a bit cumbersome at first, but keep in mind that with blood-pressure, every millimeter point counts.
Use a home blood-pressure monitor (BPM) validated for accuracy, and make sure your cuff size fits properly. It may cost a little more, but it's worth every cent. For a list of home BPM that were used in seven separate RESPeRATE clinical trials .
One measurement of blood-pressure on its own can be misleading. When measuring BP at home, take three consecutive measurements -- the first measurement will be somewhat higher. Your real blood-pressure is the average or the number between the 2nd and 3rd measurement.
In addition, as blood-pressure normally fluctuates, it is important that you track a week of daily measurements taken at the same time of day to see the true trend.

Tip #1 - What you need to know about high blood-pressure.

2009-02-12T14:50:00.000-08:00

Before introducing non-drug ways to lower blood-pressure, let's cover the basic facts about blood-pressure. We'll also provide a few online resources should you want to read more.

What is blood-pressure?

Blood-pressure is the force of blood exerted on the inside walls of blood vessels.

Blood-pressure is expressed as a ratio (eg 120/80). The first, top number is the systolic pressure or the peak pressure when the heart pushes blood out into the arteries. The second, bottom number is the diastolic pressure or the lowest pressure when the heart rests.

Your blood-pressure normally varies during the day. It's generally lowest at night and increases in the morning to reach a peak in the afternoon. It increases during activity and decreases at rest.

What are the risks of high blood-pressure?

Normal blood-pressure is less than 120/80 points. Higher levels of blood-pressure (hypertension), a condition referred to as the "silent killer," can develop for years without any signs or symptoms.

Left untreated, the damage high blood-pressure causes to blood vessels and vital organs increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, heart failure, dementia and blindness.

What are the benefits of lowering high blood-pressure

Luckily, high blood-pressure is manageable and lowering it can greatly reduce your risk of developing associated life-threatening conditions. For example, lowering blood-pressure by 14 systolic points for 5 years has been shown to provide:

37% reduction in strokes

55% reduction in congestive heart failure

27% reduction in heart attacks

What is RESPeRATE?

How it lowers blood pressure

Harness the natural power of breathing to lower blood pressure

High blood pressure is
generally caused by your blood vessels tightening up and narrowing; this
then causes your heart to pump harder. RESPeRATE's unique breathing
exercise relaxes constricted blood vessels to reduce high blood
pressure.

When you use RESPeRATE, you put on headphones and attach a sensor
around your chest.

RESPeRATE's breathing sensor automatically analyzes your individual
breathing pattern and creates a personalized melody composed of two distinct
inhale and exhale guiding tones.

Simply listen to the melody through the headphones, and your body's natural
tendency to follow external rhythms will enable you to easily synchronize your
breathing to the tones.

By gradually prolonging the exhalation tone to slow your
breathing, RESPeRATE leads you to the therapeutic zone of less than 10
breaths per minute. Within a few minutes, the muscles surrounding the small
blood vessels in your body relax, blood flows more freely, and your blood
pressure is significantly reduced.
RESPeRATE's unique breathing exercise relaxes constricted blood vessels
to reduce high blood pressure.

Wheelchairs come in different styles

2008-12-23T10:36:00.000-08:00

A wheelchair ramp may be used for electric wheelchairs; just be sure to get one that accommodates the width of your chair. When you use public transportation, as well as when you drive your own car, the chair will have to be secured while traveling. When children are severely injured they might face critical, debilitating accidents that impair their mobility. Wheelchairs offer mobility in a light package and now, they can be electric for increased mobility. Information about used electric wheelchairs can be found online or on a bulletin board in your physicians office. When you choose not to use the chair for an extended period of time, make sure the maintenance is still kept up on it.

When you see an able-bodied individual walking down the street you notice various things, but they will notice you in an electric wheelchair too. Electric wheelchairs are here to allow people to freely roam the streets and visit all of their favorite places without any complications. A variety of electric wheelchairs used and old may be purchased at most wheelchairs stores and on ebay for a affordable price. Information about used electric wheelchairs can be posted online, along with the general information about the chair.

When individuals are negotiating lifts and doorways for new environments, wheelchairs are an important consideration. Important factors to keep in mind while choosing an electric wheelchair; is the range of movement ability of the user. When you need a tour of a facility, be sure you advise them of your electric wheelchair status to ensure the area is accessible. When selecting wheelchairs people may choose from a variety of available options and features in this day and age. Wheelchairs offer a chair bound individual a freedom that was never within their reach before. Electric wheelchairs can be folded, this makes them easier to store in your automobile and in your home.

A wheelchair is a wheeled mobility device in which the user sits in and places his or her feet on two small folded down foot rest; this device allows them to move around freely. When people are eager to explore more energy-efficient modes of transportation, electric wheelchairs are in that category for physically challenged. Fortunately, electric wheelchairs are maneuvered by a joystick; this makes it easier for those who are lacking strong upper body strength. Important factors to consider when choosing a wheelchair is the type of terrain and the general weather it can hold up in. Wheelchairs allow the users to lead an independent and confident life as they are able to continue getting around in public again.

Travel Tips for People Who Use Wheelchairs

2008-12-16T10:37:00.001-08:00

These tips are from the Access for Disabled Americans Web site (www.accessfordisabled.com):

1. If you are able to fly first class, go for it -- more room and lot more enjoyable. If not, try to get the first bulkhead seats; they are closer to the front of the aircraft and they give you more room if you should have spasms.

2. If possible, book a nonstop flight. You'll have fewer problems with a wheelchair. If you can't, always allow at least 45 minutes for connecting flights. Some wheelchair travelers prefer to have a change of aircraft for an hour or so. It gives them time to relax, get something to eat, stretch or use airport restrooms.

3. If possible, travel with an attendant to help with transfers, your meals or to shift your weight around. Carry an "emergency bag" on the airplane; it should hold daily necessities, a change of clothing, medication, tools for your wheelchair and any other items you would need if your baggage doesn't arrive when you do.

4. If traveling in a power-driven wheelchair, be sure that you have gel-cell batteries. They're less hassle. Some airlines refuse to carry wet-cell batteries -- too dangerous -- and they will ask. They may require a form to be filled out.

5. Wheelchair passengers are the first to board and the last to get off. You can stay in your wheelchair until you get to the gate; you'll transfer to an "aisle chair" -- a narrow high-back chair with no sides and straps to hold you in. If you have assistance and were able to snag the first bulk-head seat, you can be carried from your wheelchair to the seat.

6. Your wheelchair will be loaded into the baggage compartment. Be sure airline personnel know how to handle it. Are there detatchable parts? Remove them and put them in a carry-on bag. Or tape a list of instructions on the wheelchair. Always put the wheelchair in manual for easier pushing and less danger to your power unit. Many wheelchair travelers remove the power unit since it is the most important part of the wheelchair.

7. Before the aircraft leaves the ground, ask the airline attendant to make sure your wheelchair was loaded in the aircraft. If you make a connecting flight, ask that your wheelchair made the same change.

8. If you are connecting to another flight and have a few hours, tell airline personnel you would like to have your wheelchair brought to the gate for the layover. You will be much more comfortable in your own wheelchair

Power Wheelchairs

2008-12-08T07:04:00.000-08:00

Power Wheelchairs

Power wheelchairs require far less physical exertion to operate than manual wheelchairs. Since power wheelchairs have far more machinery than manual wheelchairs, they tend to be much heavier and therefore you may need an adapted van or accessible public transportation for your powered wheelchair. That should be taken into consideration ahead of time.

Still, power wheelchairs have enormous advantages, not the least of which is the ability of the user to conserve energy that would otherwise be exerted for propulsion. Power wheelchairs can handle practically any terrain, and they can easily travel uphill--unlike their manual counterparts. For those with limited physical strength, partial paralysis, joint pain or those who tire easily, a power wheelchair can make the difference between a life of total dependence and personal freedom.

Choosing a Power Wheelchair

When choosing which type of power wheelchair is right for you or your family member, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Check out the width for clearance in your home, whether it is designed for indoor use, outdoor use or both, and how much weight the chair will hold. It's important to find a power wheelchair to fit the user and the user's needs.

At All Time Medical, we have several different power wheelchairs available. All of our brands are well known and reputable. Whether you want a traditional-style power wheelchair or one with a power base and mounted seat, we can accommodate your needs.

Visit us at http://www.alltimemedical.com/, and take a look at some power wheelchairs.

Knee Walkers

2008-02-28T06:34:00.000-08:00

Knee Walkers

Knee walkers are alternatives to crutches and wheelchairs. They allow patients to keep weight off their feet and lower legs but still remain active and independent. Knee walkers work by allowing the patient to kneel on a unit with four caster wheels and push around using the free leg.

Knee walkers are great for people who need to stay off their feet, but don't have the upper body strength to use crutches. People who only have trouble with one foot can use knee walkers instead of wheelchairs. Knee walkers are much easier to operate than wheelchairs, fit in more areas than wheelchairs, are easier to transport than wheelchairs and keep you in a standing position so you can accomplish everyday activities without much adjustment.

Getting the Right Knee Walker for You

To use a knee walker properly, you have to first buy the right size and adjust it to fit. Some knee walkers come in different heights or have adjustable parts that can be lengthened or shortened to fit appropriately. You also have to make sure you get a knee walker that can accommodate your weight because much of your body weight is rested on the knee walker when idle and in motion.

At All Time Medical, we have knee walkers available at great prices. Knee walkers are appropriate for most people who have injuries below the knee, but you should consult a doctor or therapist to make sure they are right for you. Knee walkers are not usually recommended for people with knee injuries or arthritis in the knee.

Visit us at www.AllTimeMedical.com, and take a look at some knee walkers.

Lightweight Wheelchairs

2007-12-06T08:05:00.000-08:00

Lightweight Wheelchairs

Lightweight wheelchairs offer all of the same benefits of standard wheelchairs and then some. Lightweight wheelchairs are easier to self-propel, easier to push and can usually be transported more easily as well. For all of these reasons, lightweight wheelchairs are the most common types of wheelchairs used today.

There are two different types of lightweight wheelchairs: transport wheelchairs and self-propelled wheelchairs. The lightweight types of transport wheelchairs are more portable and easier to push, making them perfect for occasional use to transport a family member with mobility impairment. The lightweight self-propelled wheelchairs are more maneuverable than standard wheelchairs and can often be folded or collapsed by the user for transportation purposes.

Who Should Use Lightweight Self-Propelled Wheelchairs

Just because you require the assistance of a wheelchair to get around, doesn't mean you have to be restricted in your mobility. If you have good upper body strength and stamina, lightweight self-propelled wheelchairs can make it easier for you to get around. To choose the right wheelchair for you, make sure the overall weight of the wheelchair is light enough for you to lift into a car after yourself.

At All Time Medical, we offer numerous different brands of lightweight wheelchairs at a wide range of prices. Many of our wheelchairs include a variety of options, including removable armrests, adjustable leg rests, flip back arms, adjustable seat back height, dual axles, high-performance wheels and a number of additional features. Most of our wheelchairs can be customized to suit your needs and fit your required seat width as well.

Shower Seats

2007-10-30T09:57:00.001-07:00

Shower Seats

A good shower seat can be a much-needed bulwark against catastrophe. It is a well-known fact that showers tend to be repositories for injury and accident, and the prime culprit is most often the shower itself. Getting your hands on a good shower seat is quite simply required if you wish to avoid a similar fate.

The best shower seats tend to be those that can withstand this environment and all its hazards without difficulty. That means you need a mildew-resistant, padded seat, a sturdy base that will not rust and the kind of rubber leg caps that keep the entire shower seat from sliding in slippery circumstances. For quality shower seats such as these and corner shower seats, folding shower seats and other kinds, you will not find a more comprehensive online resource than All Time Medical.

Our approach is simple. We have worked with the manufacturers to get the very best prices for you. When you order your products, you are taking advantage of the best negotiated price possible. Many of these come at or near wholesale rates, meaning you can save a considerable percentage by ordering direct through our website. Best of all, we take care of every detail to ensure the shipping and invoicing of each product is as simple as possible to comprehend.

Few areas of the home contain greater risk than the bathroom, and shower seats such as these simply make sense if safety is a concern. If you want to see more bathroom disability products from our extensive catalog, do not hesitate to visit us at www.AllTimeMedical.com. If you still have questions, we are available at info@alltimemedical.com.

They represent something like a complete solution for bathing without any chance of injury.

Raised Toilet Seats

2007-10-22T10:50:00.000-07:00

Raised Toilet Seats

It wasn't long ago that using the toilet represented a major threat to the elderly. Most wheelchairs were designed at one height, while many bathroom toilet seats were far lower. This lateral transition could be a shaky affair, and accidents with terrible consequences were unfortunately more common than many people realized.

Today, a higher standard of bathroom safety has prevailed and the result is a new spate of high-end medical mobility products. Quite popular nowadays are raised toilet seats, so named because they offer an easy way to sit and stand without having to rock forward on your heels and undertake a real balance shift. The best of these raised toilet seats can make your life far easier simply by reducing the stress associated with the move.

Products such as these run the gamut from the most basic vinyl covering to elaborate devices that roll with you and can fit over any toilet. You can get versions with attachments for relieving oneself away from the commode as well as raised toilet seats that come complete with armrests and more. Whatever your choice, you have come to the right place for some of the finest examples of the breed.

Feel free to look around the catalog at All Time Medical if you want to browse through all those choices at once. We take pride in an approach to customer service that answers all your questions in a timely manner, so you can always feel free to contact us if you need assistance shopping for raised toilet seats. The email address is info@alltimemedical.com, and we look forward to serving you.

Quad Canes

2007-10-19T07:44:00.000-07:00

Quad Canes

There was a time when all canes were designed the same way. Each had a handle to hold, a long shaft that generally came in a few fixed heights, and a base that was rubberized to prevent slippage. Unfortunately, the problem with this design could be traced to simple physics: with a single node carrying all that weight, a slight shift in balance was all it took to send the user sprawling.

Needless to say, today's canes tend to be far superior. Most offer an angled upper section of the shaft to aid in a more intuitive center of gravity, and the best examples come with four feet, called a walking quad cane, rather than the traditional one. This wider balance base offers far greater stability, making it the form of choice for medical professionals and the patients they serve. Because some people prefer small base quad canes, we carry them too, as well as pediatric quad canes.

Here at All Time Medical, you can find all manner of walking quad canes quickly and easily. We believe superior medical mobility aids such as these should be affordable and simple to use, and we endeavor daily to bring the lowest possible prices to our valued customers. If you are looking for a higher breed of walking quad canes, you will not find a more affordable solution anywhere on the Web.

Visit us at www.AllTimeMedical.com. Take a moment to look around the site if you want to learn more about the complete line of mobility aids we carry here. From wheelchairs and walkers to forearm crutches and walking quad canes, we aim to be your one stop shop for all medical equipment. You may contact us anytime at info@alltimemedical.com if you have a question about our walking quad canes or other mobility aids.

Mobility Equipment

2007-10-19T07:40:00.000-07:00

Believe it or not, this particular admixture of features can be hard to find. That's why at All Time Medical, we offer nothing but the top manufacturers' items across the board. These include the few that have passed rigorous safety standards and earned the trust of millions. No wonder these mobility equipment brands continue to command such high fees here in the U.S.

Folding Canes

2007-10-19T07:07:00.000-07:00

Folding Canes

Good folding canes must be lightweight, powerful, easily stored and handsome to behold. It may not surprise you to learn that most canes marketed to customers hardly fit that bill, which is one of the reasons so many people go on the Web looking for better alternatives. Often as not their search ends here at All Time Medical.

We believe that purchasing folding canes, traditional canes, four-legged canes (quad canes) or any other mobility product should be easy, fast and convenient. That's why we have designed this site to offer something like a total shopping experience on the Web. Whatever you desire, you should be able to zero in by category and manufacturer until you find exactly what you're looking for.

Folding walking canes such as these and folding chair canes are a tremendous convenience for the people who use them. Too often, traditional canes can become a hazard when they are set loose in a vehicle or under someone's chair. When your cane folds away for easy storage, you need not endanger yourself or those around you with this unsecured liability. Perhaps the best part is that you can easily spring the cane back into its useful configuration--essential if you have any hope of leading a truly active lifestyle.

The folding walking canes and folding chair canes we sell here come in a variety of materials and designs, each built to withstand tremendous force without causing injury. If you are looking for the safest products at the Web's best prices, visit us at www.AllTimeMedical.com and browse through the full catalog today.

Commodes

2007-10-17T07:28:00.000-07:00

Commodes

While many people feel comfortable relying on the assistance of others when undertaking various activities, most individuals prefer privacy when using the restroom. Commodes are some of the most commonly purchased medical equipment devices because they provide added security in the bathroom for those individuals who have a difficult time standing up and sitting down. That said, some commodes are far superior in terms of design and effectiveness.

The best commodes tend to be those that facilitate easy lateral transfer without a lot of weight or bulky parts to get in the way. Here at All Time Medical, we offer some of the finest of the breed: padded commodes with skid-free rubber tips, armrests, backrests and more. Many even come with removable buckets so that they may be used in tandem with a toilet or as freestanding devices all their own.

Commode Chair

2007-10-17T07:16:00.000-07:00

Commode Chair

Bathrooms can be dangerous places, particularly when you factor in the varying heights of the room's components. Anyone who uses a wheelchair knows that the real hazard in getting around comes from the transitional moments when you must move from one perch to another. Traditional toilet seats can pose a particular problem in this regard, as they are often slippery, unstable and difficult to reach.

Enter the commode chair, one of the most ingenious disability devices currently in use. One part safety seat and another part toilet, these clever hybrid chairs offer extra security and stability for those who may experience difficulty using traditional toilets. These days they are among the most highly recommended devices by doctors, insurers and specialists alike.

2007-10-16T09:15:00.000-07:00

Bathtub Mats

There's a good reason so many experts in the field of medical equipment recommend starting to institute bathroom safety with bathtub mats.

Bath Stools

2007-10-16T09:13:00.000-07:00

Bath Stools

There is a reason so many doctors recommend investing in bath stools for your home. Bathrooms are notoriously hazardous areas, fraught with dangerous items such as slick tile, hard surfaces and freely running water. It is no coincidence that these factors conspire to bring about the nation's highest concentration of home-related injuries.

The good news is that today's disability products have worked wonders to reduce the incidence of calamity in the home. Today you can find everything from elevated commodes and grip bars to the kind of in-shower devices that make everyone feel a little safer. Bath stools are perhaps the finest example of the breed.

Bath Seats

2007-10-16T09:12:00.000-07:00

Bath Seats

The best bath seats are the ones that do not inhibit any of your normal activities as they are making your bathroom a safer place. The truth about many bathrooms is that the fixtures tend to be designed for agile young people whose legs never pose a problem as they jump in and out of the tub. Anyone who spends time using a mobility aid such as a wheelchair or walker knows that contorting into this position in order to take a bath can be a hazardous affair.

The good news is that today's bath seats are as handsome as they are safe. Many of them come with fine coatings and exquisite stability to support hundreds of pounds without difficulty. They can be easily calibrated to fit any bath tub, and many even come in a choice of color. Best of all, they provide a means of finding a comfortable bathing position without the dangerous process of balancing on slippery surfaces.

Bathroom Safety Bars

2007-10-16T08:56:00.000-07:00

Bathroom Safety Bars

Bathroom safety bars are in widespread use because they work. Countless studies have shown these simple devices can reduce the incidence of bathroom accidents by more than half, and today most handicap stalls in public bathrooms offer the bars as a de facto safety device. Here at All Time Medical, you will not find a more comprehensive catalog of bathroom safety bars.

What distinguishes one of these simple products from another? The short answer is materials technology. Some bathroom safety bars are made with flimsy mounting brackets and the kind of hollow construction that can easily bend, dent or warp with time. Needless to say, this is hardly an area where you want to skimp on the quality of the design.

Many people who experience limited mobility suffer devastating accidents in the bathroom, and many of these are avoidable with a few simple products. Bathroom grab bars have been known for decades as some of the most secure and well-designed medical products on the planet.

How do they work? If you have ever visited a handicapped stall in a public restroom, you have likely seen these bars in action.

Bath Mat

2007-10-16T08:55:00.001-07:00

Bath Mat

It is no secret by now that bathrooms tend to play host to some of the worst home accidents medical practitioners see, particularly among the elderly. The bath tub itself is often the biggest culprit, designed as it is to provide a slick surface that promotes easy drainage. When unsteady legs must balance against all that friction-free coating, falls are a common occurrence.

The key is to find a bath mat that protects you against slipping without impeding the shower as a functional device. You want low-profile pieces that do not get in the way of water's natural tendency to run toward the drain, and you also want to ensure the materials themselves are highly resistant to mold and mildew. The good news is that you have come to the right place for vinyl bath tub mats, anti-slip bath tub mats, or rubber bath tub mats.

Here at All Time Medical, we offer some of the highest quality bath safety products you will find anywhere on the Web. These are substantial safety devices for the bathroom and the house as a whole, all from reputable manufacturers who put your safety above everything else. No matter what shape or color you desire, you should be able to find your bath mat, shower stool, or commode here.

Please feel free to look around the site if you want to get a sense of the full range of bathroom products we offer here. From bath mats to grip bars, shower benches and more, there is simply no more comprehensive resource for the products you need. As always, you may contact our courteous professionals anytime by sending an email to info@alltimemedical.com or clicking on our contact button if you want to learn more.

Bath Benches

2007-10-16T08:45:00.000-07:00

Bath Benches

There was a time when bath benches mostly consisted of converted exercise benches whose water resistance was dubious at best. Today, durable medical equipment manufacturers have developed a new generation of bath benches and bath transfer benches that are as safe as they are mold- and mildew-resistant, offering powerful protection against slips, allergens and more. Here at All Time Medical, you can find the best prices on all the top brands.

Why invest in bath benches and bath transfer benches for your home? The simple reason is that bathroom accidents are by far the biggest source of serious injury among senior citizens, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the slippery confines of your shower or bath. Standing on a smooth surface under soapy water is simply a calamity waiting to happen, which is why today so many medical professionals recommend a bath bench and a seated position.

Here at All Time Medical, we carry all the top brands in this essential field. Whether you want a simple chair or a more substantial item, you can get exactly what you need from us. We even offer a choice of colors and materials to suit whatever decor you are hoping to match.

Wheelchair Shopping A-Z

2007-01-02T14:33:00.000-08:00

Shopping for a wheelchair is not as easy as choosing the right dress for your date tonight. People who shop for a wheelchair for the first time are often overwhelmed by the number of choices. When you are not able to get the right wheelchair your disability will seem to get worse instead of better. Keep in mind that every wheelchair user will have different needs. If you are unsure which wheelchair to buy you can consult your doctor or therapist for advice.

Factors that you have to consider in choosing the right wheelchair includes your age, body type, gender, and type of disability. If speed is important for you, you may prefer an electric wheelchair over a manual chair. Wheelchair tires should also be chosen based on your driving conditions. The price that you pay for your wheelchair will depend on the cost of the chair itself, the cost of addition features, and cost of wheelchair accessories, cost of training on how to use the wheelchair, replacement parts, maintenance costs and future wheelchair upgrades among others.

Remember that you would perhaps use your chair for a long time. Thus, as expensive as they may seem, comfort is still the most important factor in buying a wheelchair for an uncomfortable wheelchair is the same as being uneasy in your own skin.

Buying a used wheelchair is not always a good idea. There is nothing to ensure you that the used wheelchair will fit your needs. Since wheelchairs are individually customized medical devices they are generally not meant for resale. Thus, choosing the right wheelchair requires the collective input of a doctor, therapist and you to make sure that the right wheelchair is matched to you.

Nevertheless, with the increasing cost of health care it is understandable if people look for alternatives like buying used wheelchairs or scooters. Just remember though that if you decide to buy a used wheelchair, make sure that your size and weight is within the capacity of the used chair. Remember also that second hand wheelchairs don’t have transferable warranties. This means that even if the warranty is still valid, if its ownership is transferred then the warranty would no longer be enforceable. So decide wisely when shopping for a used wheelchair.

To make sure that you are buying the right used wheelchair you can check on ads on the bulletin boards, websites and newsletters at your local rehabilitation hospital, independent living center or local disability organization. Do not rush into buying the first wheelchair that you see. Most importantly, do not buy a wheelchair simply because you like its style or color.

Rotary Club plans to issue more wheelchairs in 2007

2006-12-28T18:36:00.001-08:00

THE Rotary Club of St Andrew on Tuesday finalised plans to distribute 280 wheelchairs to needy people across the country. The club was also presented with a cheque valued at US$42,000, by the Jamaica National Foundation, which will be used to clear a container on the wharf in which the wheelchairs are being kept.

After distributing this batch of wheelchairs, the Rotary Club of St Andrew will have distributed 860 wheelchairs - which have a market value of approximately J$20 million - since the inception of this project four years ago.
According to Lloyd Eubank Green, chairman of the Rotary Club's Wheelchair committee, the club was very pleased to be offering this service.

"You have some people who have the need, someone without mobility. You have people who are confined to their rooms, they are in darkness. They have sicknesses that they can't move out of the darkness. When they have wheelchairs they can get out into the light," Eubank-Green told the Observer.

He said the focus of the Rotary Club of St Andrew, come 2007, would be to find people who are in need of wheelchairs, who aren't registered with the Jamaica Council for People With Disabilities.

"The Jamaica Council for People With Disabilities has over 5,000 registered persons who need wheelchairs. I feel that there is another 5,000 who need wheelchairs, who don't have a voice, and those are the people we want to reach," he said. In this regard, Eubank Green said special emphasis would be placed on rural communities.

Medical Equipment Distributor

Not all medical equipment distributors are created equal. Often, pricing for medical equipment items is beyond reach of all but the most affluent patients. Needless to say, this is hardly a way to aid the people who need these medical equipment products most.

We always go the extra mile to get you exceptional prices on all manner of products, from wheelchairs and walkers to canes, bariatric products and more. We even devote a full section of the site to commode products, as these typically can become far more expensive than they need to be.

Our clients tell us they have rarely worked with a medical equipment distributor that offers such sterling customer care. No matter what the product or nature of the disability, we take pride in offering something that should greatly enhance the patient's quality of life.
