يواجه الأشخاص الذين يحتاجون إلى العكازات تحديات متعددة. ومن أبرز هذه التحديات هو التأقلم مع استخدام العكازات في الحياة اليومية. إذ يتطلب الأمر الكثير من الصبر والتدريب لاكتساب المهارات اللازمة للتنقل بأمان وفعالية. كما أن العكازات قد تسبب إرهاقاً جسدياً لبعض المستخدمين، مما يدفعهم للبحث عن طرق لتخفيف العبء عنها، سواء من خلال تمارين تقوية العضلات أو استشارة متخصصين في العلاج الطبيعي.

Hospital beds are specially designed to let users adjust their head and feet when needed, changing the pressure points and improving their body’s circulation. Qualifying for a hospital bed can depend on the severity and frequency of the symptoms that necessitate an adjustable model. If the reason for needing a hospital bed is that the patient’s condition requires frequent repositioning, the prescription and documentation must describe the medical condition.

There are various types of wheelchairs available, and selecting the appropriate one is essential based on the patient's specific needs. Manual wheelchairs can be propelled by the patient themselves or pushed by a caregiver. For those with greater mobility challenges, powered wheelchairs offer an alternative, providing the ability to move with minimal physical effort from the patient. In recent years, advancements in wheelchair technology have introduced features such as adjustable seating, tilt-in-space options, and removable armrests, which enhance comfort and usability for stroke patients.

So it starts out with a fixed hospital bed is covered if one or more of the following criteria are met. Okay, so down here are the four criteria. “The beneficiary has a medical condition which requires positioning of the body in ways not feasible with an ordinary bed. Elevation of the head, upper body less than 30 degrees does not usually require the use of a hospital bed.” So basically, what they’re telling you is you can just use a bed wedge and you don’t qualify. So that’s what they’re gonna give you, some sorta wedge or tell you to do a wedge, and that is not covered. The second question is, “The beneficiary must require positioning of the body in ways not feasible with an ordinary bed in order to alleviate pain.” Again, they’re gonna say some sorta bed wedge or something can be done in a regular bed and they’re not gonna cover it. The third one is probably where most people qualify for it but it’s limited to the diagnosis. “The beneficiary requires the head of the bed to be elevated more than 30 degrees most of the time due to congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, or problems with aspiration,” okay. Then the next one is, “The beneficiary requires traction equipment which can only be attached to a hospital bed.” There’s not many things nowadays that is not free standing. So a trapeze bar is free standing. So they will say, “If you just need the trapeze bar, you can get a free standing trapeze bar.” So they’re not gonna cover the bed based on that. So you’re gonna have to have one of those three diagnoses in order to qualify for it in the most part. So it’s very tough criteria and, you know, we’re seeing more and more people need to rent them for short-term use and things like that, and that’s where we can come in and help you out.
