Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy is a group of conditions that gradually weaken the muscles, and the type, age of onset and rate of change vary widely from person to person. The right equipment supports independence, posture and comfort at every stage, and makes daily care easier for families and carers.
For muscular dystrophy 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.

Wheelchairs and Powerchairs
Lightweight and active wheelchairs give independence when walking becomes tiring, and powerchairs, including specialist models with tilt, recline and postural support, keep you independently mobile as strength reduces.
Shop our Wheelchairs, Powerchairs and Specialist Powerchairs ranges, including the ICON 60, Invacare Action 4 NG, Robooter X40, Axcel and Q6 Edge HD. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Postural Support and Adaptations
Lateral supports, headrests, harnesses and pressure-relief options help maintain a comfortable, supported position in a wheelchair or powerchair, and power add-ons can turn a manual chair into a powered one.
Shop our Powerchair Adaptations, Wheelchair Adaptations and Wheelchair Powerpacks ranges, including Powerchair Lateral Supports, Powerchair Headrests, Powerchair Pressure Relief and the TGA Powerpack Duo.
Transfers and Vehicle Adaptations
Person hoists and transfer plates make moving between bed, chair and car safer, and a wheelchair roof box or equipment hoist helps with travelling.
Shop our Vehicle Adaptations range, including Person Hoists, the Transfer Plate, Wheelchair Roof Box and Equipment Hoists.
Beds, Seating and Pressure Care
A home care profiling bed helps with turning, positioning and care, specialist seating gives postural support away from the wheelchair, and pressure-relief mattresses protect the skin.
Shop our Beds, Mattresses and Specialist Seating ranges, including the Executive home care bed, Hylton Mattress and MultiAdjust Plus.
Bathroom and Home Adaptations
Shower commode chairs, a level-access wet room, ramps and a homelift keep the whole home accessible and personal care safe.
Shop our Bathing and Home Adaptations ranges, including the Ocean VIP Ergo, Wet Room solutions, Ramps and the Homelift.
Daily Living Aids
Reachers, easy grip cutlery and dressing aids reduce the effort of everyday tasks and help you keep doing things for yourself.
Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including the Standard Reacher, Easy Grip Cutlery and Easy-Pull Sock Aid.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs change over time, 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. 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 support independence, posture and comfort while living with muscular dystrophy. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
