Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Motor Neurone Disease
Motor neurone disease (MND) causes increasing weakness in the muscles, affecting walking, hand use, posture, speech and swallowing, and needs can change quickly. The right equipment, provided at the right time, helps maintain independence, comfort and dignity, and makes care easier for family and carers.
For motor neurone disease information and support, speak to your healthcare professionals and visit the NHS website. Our qualified trusted assessors are also here to support you and your care team every step of the way, so please call us on 01926 624432.
Many of the products below are available to buy or through our Warwickshire-wide mobility equipment hire service. Hire can help to facilitate hospital discharge, enable you to try equipment before committing to a purchase, or provide support as needs change. We also offer a free home assessment with one of our qualified Warwick-based team to help you choose what’s right for you.

Walking Aids and Wheelchairs
In the early stages, a walking stick or rollator helps with balance and fatigue, and a lightweight wheelchair is useful for longer distances.
Shop our Walking Aids and Wheelchairs ranges, including the Folding Walking Stick, Motion 2.1 and Ergo Lite 2 Transit. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Specialist Wheelchairs and Powerchairs
As strength reduces, a specialist powerchair with tilt, recline and head support keeps you independently mobile and comfortable, and attendant controls let a carer drive the chair when needed. Tilt-in-space wheelchairs offer similar postural support for carer-pushed use.
Shop our Specialist Powerchairs and Specialist Wheelchairs ranges, including the Q6 Edge 2.0, 4Front 2, Invacare Rea Azalea and Attendant Controls.
Transfers, Beds and Pressure Care
Person hoists make transfers safe for you and your carers, a hospital-style profiling bed helps with positioning, breathing comfort and care, and pressure-relief mattresses and cushions protect the skin.
Shop Person Hoists, our Beds, Mattresses and Pressure Cushions ranges, including the Medley Ergo bed, Softform Active 2 Mattress and Vicair Adjuster Cushion.
Seating and Riser Recliner Chairs
A riser recliner chair helps with standing and resting comfortably, and specialist tilt-in-space seating provides full postural support as needs increase.
Shop our Seating range, including Riser Recliners such as the Ambassador and Specialist Seating such as the Hydrotilt.
Bathroom and Home Adaptations
Shower commode chairs and a level-access wet room keep personal care safe and dignified, and ramps and a homelift keep the whole home accessible.
Shop our Bathing and Home Adaptations ranges, including the Ocean Dual VIP Ergo, Wet Room solutions, Ramps and the Homelift.
Daily Living Aids
Easy grip cutlery, non-spill cups, key turners and dressing aids help you keep doing things for yourself for as long as possible.
Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including Easy Grip Cutlery, the Henrocup, Key Turner and Big Grip Button Hook.
Communication and Assistive Technology
If speech becomes affected, communication aids, text-to-speech apps, voice banking and voice-activated assistants can help you stay in touch and in control of your home. Your MND care team can advise on the options.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs change as MND progresses, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Many wheelchairs can be adapted with extra accessories or postural supports, and powered wheelchairs can often be reprogrammed or have their controls adjusted to suit changing strength, grip or coordination. Our team also offer regular servicing to keep equipment safe and reliable.
Shop Wheelchair Accessories, Wheelchair Powerpacks and Powerchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and powerchair programming.
Using a combination of these products can help maintain independence, comfort and dignity while living with MND. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
