    Individuals with spinal cord injuries have limited mobility but can live independently with assistive devices. These include wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, and modified vehicles. Transfer equipment like slings and boards help patients move with less assistance. Positioning aids preserve mobility and health by supporting the body. Compliance with adaptive devices is challenging due to cost and improvements in health conditions.

    Mobility Devices

    Individuals with spinal cord injury, just like patients with any
    other conditions, have a right to lead good quality and
    independent lives. However, due to the limitations presented
    by this condition, it is almost impossible to live a good life
    without some orthotic devices.
    MOBILITY DEVICES
    Patients with spinal cord injuries can move
    around with the help of a variety of tools,
    such as wheelchairs (manual, sport, power,
    power-assisted), walking frames, crutches,
    hand bikes, canes and specially designed
    shoes. It also includes modified cars that
    may be driven indoors, usually by members
    of the same family.
    Transferring Equipment
    These make it possible for patients to be
    moved around by their carers. It consists of
    benches, elevators, slings, and transfer
    boards. Transfer devices are designed to
    significantly reduce the amount of
    assistance a patient requires from carers.
    Positioning Apparatus
    Positioning aids assist in preserving optimal
    performance while keeping body parts safe
    and as pleasant as possible. They also assist
    in maintaining the health of the
    musculoskeletal system. Splints, braces,
    backrests, and cushions are some of them.
    List of the devices used by
    disabled Person
    • Mobility aids such crutches1, canes,
    wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, canes,
    prosthetics, and orthotics.
    • Hearing aids are devices that improve a
    person's hearing.
    • Cognitive aids to assist those who
    struggle with memory, attention, or
    other cognitive issues, such as computer
    or electrical assistive devices.
    People with hearing impairments can watch
    movies, TV shows, and other digital
    content using closed captioning.Ramps,
    grab bars, and larger doorways are examples
    of physical alterations made to the built
    environment to improve accessibility to
    buildings, establishments, and workplaces.
    Mobility aids that are compact, powerful,
    and allow people with disabilities to
    participate in sports and exercise.
    Respiratory Apparatus
    These are employed for suctioning and in
    individuals with respiratory issues. They
    consist of CPAP machines and ventilators,
    among other things.
    Tools for Self-Care
    They are mostly used for self-care and
    personal regular duties like eating, dressing,
    grooming, and menstruation, bowel, and
    bladder care. Adapted cutlery, a dressing
    stick, a shower bench or commode, and
    other items are examples of self-care tools.
    Devices for Environmental
    Control
    They are required to manage the patients'
    immediate surroundings, such as turning on
    the lights, taking phone calls, opening and
    closing doors and windows, etc.
    Sporting Goods
    They could include gear utilised for a range of
    sports and leisure pursuits. Exercise equipment
    and physical activity are also included.
    Home Alterations
    The following are some typical alterations:
    1.Modifying the layout of the current floor
    2.Adding new structures.
    3. Adapting existing spaces to a purpose
    4. purchasing a new house
    5. Increasing doorways and utilising automatic
    doors
    6. putting in a ceiling hoist to help with transfers
    stairs lifts
    It has been concluded that research on patients
    with spinal cord injuries using the recommended
    adapted equipment is scarce. Understanding the
    reasons for non-compliance would enable
    appropriate treatment planning and reduce the
    amount of money the state and users have to
    spend on unneeded reimbursement. The most
    frequent reasons for non-compliance with
    provisions for adaptive equipment, according to a
    retrospective observational study, were
    improvements in the patient's health and the
    device's high cost, which accounted for 44%, 20%,
    11%, and 17% of the causes of non-compliance.
