Did you know that the risk of death from falls is even higher than that from heart and neurological diseases? That's right, and that's why it's so important for seniors to always have a cane to assist them in their daily activities. Although many still associate walking sticks with physical disability, for example, it's crucial to educate them that walking sticks are nothing more than a preventative measure against future problems. A cane serves to make small adjustments to balance and posture, as well as, of course, prevent excess weight—which puts strain on the spine and, consequently, areas such as the ankle, hip, and knee. Here at Center Medical, you'll find four-point canes and walking sticks—ideal for a variety of occasions. But remember, first and foremost, it's crucial to consult a doctor and/or physical therapist—who will always recommend the best product for you or your family. #### Walkers: Life Gets Much Easier With Them Walkers are generally used by those who need much more support than crutches and canes can offer. They provide greater stability and mobility while walking, and two gait modes for the user—making mobility even easier. To use the walker correctly, it's essential that it's about one step forward—always ensuring the walker's legs are firmly planted on the ground—and, with both hands, hold the device firmly and always walk inside it. #### Need extra help? Try Canadian crutches. Not sure which crutch to choose? If you want to avoid the typical crutch model—which, in most cases, are quite uncomfortable to use—go for Canadian crutches. #### So, how do you use a crutch? Although they may seem easy, crutches require a little more care than regular crutches. First, the way to use a crutch is completely different from a regular crutch, starting with the side to be used—something many people get wrong the first time around. It's essential that the crutch always be used on the side opposite the injured leg; and walking should begin with the injured leg in front, next to the crutch, and then with a step with the healthy leg. The forearm should always rest about three finger widths below the elbow, and the force should always be placed on the wrists. It's important to clarify that the crutch should always be 15 to 20 cm away from the bar and the leg—to ensure a balanced force. #### Jaguaribe Wheelchairs, the best manual wheelchair option. Looking for a manual wheelchair? Choose a Jaguaribe wheelchair! The chair is made of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum, has padded nylon upholstery, and a super-comfortable injected foam cushion. With an X-shaped folding frame, handling and transporting the wheelchair is much easier. The bilateral brake system is adjustable, and its rear wheels have inflatable tires and spoke protection. Additionally, the chair has armrests and footrests—both articulated, removable, and adjustable according to needs. #### Medical Kit at Center Medical Need an otoscope? This device is crucial for accurate diagnoses—especially when it comes to the dreaded ear infections. Having a good otoscope in your office is essential for performing examinations of the inner ear, and if the product also helps with diagnosis with extra glare-free light, it's perfect! And how about a good oximeter? This device is essential for measuring blood oxygen noninvasively. Of course, oximeters can also read heart rate—providing essential values for certain diagnoses.
