Personal mobility devices include medical devices that assist in mobility and help in improving the overall quality of life of physically-disabled and geriatric populations. Devices such as wheelchairs, canes, crutches, and walkers are among the major personal mobility devices available in the market. Typically, people with injuries or disabilities, or older adults with increased risk of falling, choose to use mobility devices.
