Heart & Stroke

Heart and Stroke

Recovering from a heart condition or stroke involves careful management and support, and the right aids can make a significant difference. Monitoring tools such as blood pressure monitors and oximeters to measure blood oxygen levels help you keep track of important health metrics from home. This ensures your health levels stay within safe ranges and alerting you to any potential. Additionally, bathroom and shower aids such as shower stools, over toilet frames and transfer boards enhance safety and independence by reducing the risk of falls and making daily routine more manageable. 

Blood Pressure Monitor 

A blood pressure monitor is an essential tool for tracking your cardiovascular health. This device measures your blood pressure, providing important data about your heart’s condition, with easy to read displays and automatic readings. Regular monitoring at home helps you keep your blood pressure your target range and enabling you to track changes over time and share this information with your doctor.

Oximeter

An oximeter is another important piece of equipment for anyone recovering from a heart condition or stroke. This small, portable device clips onto your fingertip and measures the oxygen levels in your blood. For those recovering from a heart condition or stroke, keeping an eye on your oxygen levels is crucial. If your oxygen levels drop too low, it can signal a problem that needs immediate medical attention. Using an oximeter regularly helps ensure your oxygen levels are in a health range, providing you peace of mind.

Bathroom Aids

Safety in the bathroom and shower is important, especially if you have mobility issues following a stroke or heart condition. Shower chairs are valuable aids, allowing you to sit comfortably while showering, which can reduce the risk of falls and help you conserve your energy. Additionally, raised toilet frames can ease the strain of sitting down and standing up, making daily bathroom use more comfortable and safe.

Overhead Pulley

An overhead pulley is a rehabilitation tool used in heart and stroke recovery to help improve shoulder mobility and strength. It consists of a set of pulleys mounted on a wall or door frame, with a rope that allows the user to pull on as a rehabilitation exercise. The pulley system helps you move your arm in a smooth, controlled way, reducing the risk of injury and making it easier to perform movements.
