Our collection of fall prevention equipment & products

We offer a range of fall protection solutions tailored to various situations and individuals, including:

• Grab bars are sturdy bars that can be installed on bathroom walls, near toilets, and in the shower or bathtub. They provide support and stability when getting in and out of the bath or using the toilet. Proper installation is essential to ensure they can support the individual's weight.
   

• Walkers and canes provide support and stability when walking. Walkers typically have four legs (sometimes wheels) and can provide more support, while canes offer assistance with balance. Choose the appropriate mobility aid based on the individual's needs.
   

• Fall alarms have sensors that, when triggered, alert a monitoring centre or a support worker for assistance. Some systems also have fall detection technology that automatically triggers an alert if a fall is detected. We offer fall alarms for chairs, beds, and toilets.
   

• Medical alarms are recommended for independent individuals with mobility challenges or older Australians with dementia who tend to wander. The user can press the “SOS” button in case of trouble or a fall to call for help — the device will send an SMS message to programmed mobile numbers and share the user’s location.
   

• Bed rails can be attached to the sides of the bed to assist with getting in and out of bed safely, providing stability and a secure handhold. They can also help prevent individuals from falling out of bed while sleeping.
   

• Fall mats are designed to reduce the risk of injuries from falling out of bed. Packed with foam and tested for shock absorbency, some fall mats can reduce the risk of injuries up to 85%.
   

• Non-slip socks with rubberised soles can help prevent slipping on smooth or wet surfaces. Make sure the shoes fit well and provide proper support.
   

• Hip protectors are similar to briefs and can be worn over clothing or as underwear. With high impact-absorbing pads built in, hip protectors minimise the hip bones against injuries and fractures for those prone to falls.
   

Remember that a personalised assessment by a healthcare professional is crucial for identifying individual fall risks and determining the most appropriate fall prevention strategies and products.

At Active Mobility, we have occupational therapists in-house who can provide expert recommendations and collaborate with other medical professionals to ensure you get the best products for your needs.
