Recovering from a stroke isn’t just about rehab appointments — it’s about building a daily life that works for where you are now. One of the most powerful ways to do that? The right assistive technology.

Whether you're adjusting to life after a stroke or supporting a loved one through recovery, here's a breakdown of tools that can make life at home easier, safer, and more empowering — backed by Allied Medical's top product picks.

🚶‍♂️ Regaining Mobility: Start Small, Build Confidence

After a stroke, movement might feel uncertain — even scary. That’s why the right support can make all the difference.

Instead of jumping straight to a wheelchair, many people benefit from lighter mobility aids that grow with their progress. The AML Four Wheeled Rollator is a great starting point — offering stability and a built-in seat when rest is needed. For those wanting extra portability, the Floral Foldable Cane adds support with style.

If longer outings are on the cards, the Karma Flexx Self-Propelling Wheelchair gives users full control with comfort in mind.

🪑 Seating That Works With You

A stroke can affect your ability to stand easily — especially when fatigued. That’s where smart seating comes in.

The Pride C6 Power Lift Chair gently tilts you forward into a standing position, making transitions safer and less strenuous. For portable support (especially in shared spaces), the SitNStand Portable Rising Seat offers a similar lift function — no power source required.

Pro tip: Add a Swivel Cushion to make getting in and out of cars or tight dining chairs so much smoother.

🥣 Small Tools, Big Wins in the Kitchen

Loss of dexterity in one hand or a weakened grip can make kitchen tasks feel impossible. But you don’t have to give up independence.

The AML Kettle Pourer takes the danger out of hot water, while the Food Workstation is like a third hand — holding items in place so you can prep with one.

Add Parsons Comfort Grip Cutlery to make mealtimes more manageable, and you’re well on your way to cooking with confidence again.

👚 Getting Dressed Without the Stress

Fastening buttons or pulling up socks can become daily struggles. But with the right tools, those tasks become doable — independently.

The Flexible Sock and Stocking Aid lets users get dressed without needing to bend or balance. Combine it with the AML Button Hook/Zipper Pull and AML Nail Clipper with Magnifier, and you're removing frustration from your morning routine.

These tools don’t just save time — they restore dignity.

🏠 Making Your Home Stroke-Friendly

A few simple changes can transform the home into a safe and supportive recovery space.

The Single Grip Portable Suction Grab Bar is easy to install in bathrooms or hallways — no tools needed.

Duo Walking Trolley helps move items from one room to another without having to carry anything.

Can’t reach something? Grab it easily with the Nipper Reacher — no stretching or straining required.

💬 Take Control of Your Independence

Stroke recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all — but assistive technology can meet you where you are. From improving mobility to simplifying everyday tasks, these tools are designed to restore freedom and ease in the moments that matter most.
