One of the most common walking aids used by individuals with CP is the walker. Walkers provide stability and support while encouraging users to practice walking. There are different styles of walkers, including two-wheeled, four-wheeled, and those with built-in seats. For individuals who require a bit more assistance, gait trainers are available. These devices not only offer support but also facilitate proper gait patterns, allowing users to practice walking in a safe environment.

Moreover, these beds can be adjusted to the appropriate height for different tasks, minimizing the risk of back injuries associated with bending and lifting. The functionality of these beds can greatly enhance workflow in a hospital setting, as staff can swiftly adjust beds to accommodate procedures or patient transfers without requiring extra help.

Despite these advances, challenges remain. Awareness about the availability and benefits of oversized wheelchairs is still lacking in some areas. Medical professionals, caregivers, and individuals often need more education on the options available for larger-bodied individuals, resulting in a significant number of people remaining unaware of their rights and choices. Joint efforts from healthcare providers, manufacturers, and advocacy groups are essential to promoting these crucial resources.
