Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Spina Bifida
Spina bifida affects people in different ways depending on where the spine is affected, from mild walking difficulties to full-time wheelchair use, often with reduced sensation in the legs and feet. The right equipment supports independence, skin protection and comfort at every stage of life, from childhood into adulthood.
For spina bifida 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
A well-fitted active wheelchair gives independence and is easy to propel and transport, junior models suit growing children, and powerchairs or power add-ons help over longer distances.
Shop our Wheelchairs, Specialist Wheelchairs and Wheelchair Powerpacks ranges, including the Küschall Champion, ICON 60, Invacare Action 3 Jr and ViaPlus V12. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Pressure Care
Reduced sensation means pressure can build up without you noticing, so a good pressure-relief cushion is essential for regular wheelchair users, and the right mattress protects the skin overnight.
Shop our Pressure Cushions and Mattresses ranges, including the Matrx Flo-Tech Plus Cushion, Vicair Adjuster Cushion and Softform Premier Mattress.
Walking Aids
For those who walk, a rollator or indoor walker gives stability and confidence around the home and outdoors.
Shop our Walking Aids range, including the Saljol Page, Server XC and Glide 2-in-1.
Transfers and Vehicle Adaptations
Transfer plates and person hoists make moving between wheelchair, bed and car safer, hand controls can enable driving, and a wheelchair roof box helps with travel.
Shop our Vehicle Adaptations range, including the Transfer Plate, Person Hoists, Push Pull Hand Controls and Wheelchair Roof Box.
Bathroom and Home Adaptations
A level-access wet room and shower chair make bathing safe from a wheelchair, toilet surrounds and grab rails help with transfers, and ramps and a homelift keep the home accessible.
Shop our Bathing and Home Adaptations ranges, including Wet Room solutions, the Ocean VIP Ergo, Toilet Surround, Grab Rails, Ramps and the Homelift.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs change with growth and over time, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Wheelchairs can often be resized or adapted with extra accessories, and powered equipment can be reprogrammed or have its controls adjusted. 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, protect the skin and keep you comfortable while living with spina bifida. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
