Best Wheelchair Accessories

Kango Fitness’s Real Leather Mesh Net Fingerless Wheelchair Gloves are made of a soft, pliable leather to help you grip your wheelchair wheels easier. We love wheelchair gloves because they not only afford a better grip but also protect your hands from callouses. These are ideal for seniors who don’t regularly use gloves but might be venturing out more often or for a trip that will have you wheeling around much more.The fingerless design of these gloves helps you maintain your dexterity while protecting your palms with double-padded grips. The interior is padded with foam for a soft grip on your hands. The price is outstanding for genuine leather, also. For indoor or outdoor wheelchair use (as long as it’s not freezing temperatures), having an excellent set of gloves can make using your chair far more comfortable on your hands. We highly recommend them for elderly who are a bit more prone to bruising or skin irritations, as well. The leather and mesh top can help for minor bumps on the back of your hands. Additionally, the padded underside will go a long way in protecting the skin of your palms when wheeling around your home or around town.

The EZ-Access Accessories Power Chair Cover is an excellent product to have if you occasionally switch from one wheelchair to another. This protective cover helps prevent dust buildup, mildew growth, and overexposure to the sun. This cover is a fantastic general-purpose option for almost anything you need to protect your chair from on occasion, or if you put your wheelchair in storage at times to use a different chair. We also love a wheelchair cover for travel to protect your chair from scratches, dirt, and excessive handling with potentially unclean hands. For aging users who need to ensure they have less exposure to unnecessary colds and the flu, having a wheelchair cover is an excellent idea. The grommets and bungees to help keep this cover tied down are among our favorite features. It’s constructed of water-resistant nylon and also has an elastic seam to fit snuggly over your chair. For senior users in bed with visitors (who could spill beverages on their chair), or only use their chair occasionally, having a cover is a worthwhile investment.

Having the option of a drink nearby is a small yet essential feature. There’s a reason car designers eventually caught onto that idea, after all! That’s why we love the NOVA Medical Products Mobility Cup Holder, designed for both wheelchairs and walkers. Having a cupholder next to you can make such a difference in your comfort, especially for aging individuals who need a beverage to take medications or often want a hot drink when they get cold. The attachment mount of this cupholder is adjustable, making it fantastic for a variety of wheelchair, rollator, and walker styles. A Phillips screwdriver is required to install this product, but once it’s on your wheelchair, it can fold up when not in use. We love the flip up and down folding feature, and just as much appreciate the adjustable, secure grip of the cup-holding arms. Although this won’t fit all rollators (check yours before purchasing), we also like this cupholder for seniors who use rolling walkers. It’s a reasonable price, especially for those who want to have beverages with them often.
