Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis can cause pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints, often starting in the hands and feet, along with fatigue and flare-ups that come and go. The right equipment protects painful joints, saves energy and helps you stay independent on good days and bad.
For rheumatoid arthritis 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.

Daily Living Aids
Because rheumatoid arthritis often affects the small joints of the hands and wrists, gripping, twisting and fiddly tasks can become painful. Jar and can openers, key turners, reachers, button hooks, sock aids and elastic shoelaces reduce the strain on your hands and help protect your joints.
Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including the Jar Pop Key, Can Key, Key Turner, Standard Reacher, Big Grip Button Hook, Easy-Pull Sock Aid, Elastic Shoelaces and Table-Top Fingernail Clipper.
Mobility Aids
During a flare-up, painful feet, knees or hips can make walking difficult. A lightweight rollator or walking stick gives support and somewhere to rest, while a lightweight wheelchair, folding powerchair or portable scooter helps you save energy for the things you want to do.
Shop our Walking Aids, Wheelchairs, Powerchairs and Scooters ranges, including the Breeze, Puma Air, Folding Walking Stick, Ergo Lite 2 Self Propel, Jazzy Carbon Ultra Lite and Mayfair Evolution 8. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Home Modifications and Safety Products
Grab rails and bed rails give support when getting up, bed and chair raisers reduce how far you need to bend, and a stairlift takes the strain out of the stairs on days when joints are sore.
Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Grab Rails, the Fold Away Grab Rail, the Let’s Get Up Bed Rail, Bed & Chair Raisers and the Straight Stairlift.
Bathroom and Hygiene Aids
Raised toilet seats, toilet surrounds and bath boards reduce strain on painful joints, while long-handled washing aids and a bathing brush help when reaching is difficult. A level-access wet room removes the need to step into a bath.
Shop our Bathing range, including the Raised Toilet Seat, Toilet Surround, Bathboard with Handle, Swivel Shower Stool, Long Handled Toe Washer, Bathing Brush and Wet Room solutions.
Seating and Riser Recliner Chairs
A riser recliner chair helps you stand up and sit down without putting pressure on painful hands, wrists and knees, while a perching stool and swivel cushion save energy during everyday tasks.
Shop our Seating range, including Riser Recliners such as the Fenlake and Dinsdale, the 4 in 1 Perching Stool and the Swivel Cushion.
Beds and Comfort
A home care profiling bed helps with getting in and out of bed and finding a comfortable position, especially during a flare-up.
Shop our Beds range, including the Elite home care bed.
Exercise and Rehabilitation Devices
Gentle exercise helps to keep joints moving and muscles strong. Therapy balls support hand exercises, and a pedal exerciser allows gentle seated exercise for the legs.
Shop Gel Therapy Balls and the Pedal Exerciser, part of our Daily Living Aids range.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs can change with flare-ups and over time, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Wheelchairs and scooters can often be adapted with extra accessories, and our team can adjust and service equipment to keep it safe, comfortable and reliable.
Shop Wheelchair Accessories and Wheelchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and servicing.
Using a combination of these products can help protect your joints, manage fatigue and stay independent while living with rheumatoid arthritis. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
