Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s can affect movement, balance, posture and fine motor skills, with symptoms such as tremor, stiffness and slowness of movement that often change over time. The right equipment helps people living with Parkinson’s stay safe, steady and independent at home, and makes day-to-day support easier for family and carers.
For Parkinson’s 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.

Mobility Aids
Balance problems and freezing can increase the risk of falls, so a sturdy walking aid gives valuable support. Rollators with brakes and a seat offer stability and somewhere to rest, an indoor trolley helps you carry items safely around the home, and a tri-tip ferrule adds grip to a walking stick. For longer distances, a lightweight wheelchair makes outings easier.
Shop our Walking Aids and Wheelchairs ranges, including the Motion Rhythm, Nitro SL, Adjustable Indoor Trolley, Tri-Tip Ferrule and Ergo Lite 2 Self Propel. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Specialist Wheelchairs and Powerchairs
As Parkinson’s progresses, specialist wheelchairs and powerchairs with tilt-in-space and postural support help with comfort, posture and pressure care.
Shop our Specialist Wheelchairs and Specialist Powerchairs ranges, including the Invacare Rea Azalea and Edge 3 Stretto.
Home Modifications and Safety Products
Grab rails, bed rails and ramps provide support at the points where falls are most likely, such as getting out of bed, using the toilet and moving between rooms. A stairlift or homelift removes the risk of the stairs altogether.
Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Grab Rails, the Fold Away Grab Rail, the Let’s Get Up Bed Rail, Ramps, the Straight Stairlift, Curved Stairlift and the Homelift.
Bathroom and Hygiene Aids
Bath boards, toilet surrounds and shower commode chairs provide a secure seat and something steady to hold, while a level-access wet room removes the need to step over the side of a bath.
Shop our Bathing range, including the Bathboard with Handle, Toilet Surround, the Ocean Dual VIP Ergo and Wet Room solutions.
Seating and Riser Recliner Chairs
Getting up from a chair can be difficult with stiffness or slowness of movement. A riser recliner chair gently lifts you to standing, a swivel cushion helps with turning in and out of a seat, and a perching stool supports tasks at the kitchen worktop. Specialist seating supports posture for those with more advanced needs.
Shop our Seating range, including Riser Recliners, Specialist Seating such as the Hydroflex, the Swivel Cushion and the 4 in 1 Perching Stool.
Daily Living and Eating Aids
Tremor and reduced dexterity can make eating, dressing and other everyday tasks frustrating. Easy grip cutlery and non-spill cups support independent mealtimes, button hooks, key turners and reachers make fiddly tasks easier, and the Handybar gives a sturdy handle when getting in and out of a car.
Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including Easy Grip Cutlery, the Henrocup non-spill cup, the Big Grip Button Hook, Key Turner, Standard Reacher, the Handybar and the Handy Handle.
Memory, Communication and Assistive Technology
Speech can become quieter and less clear with Parkinson’s, and some people experience changes in memory or thinking. Medication reminders, large-button phones and voice-activated assistants such as Alexa or Google Home can help with timings, staying connected and controlling the home.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs change as Parkinson’s progresses, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Many wheelchairs can be adapted with extra accessories, 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 reduce the risk of falls, make daily tasks easier and support independence while living with Parkinson’s. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
