Arthritis Aids UK

Walking aids such as canes, walkers, and crutches can help reduce the amount of weight put on the affected joints. They can provide stability and support, making it easier for people to walk and move around. For example, a cane can help take pressure off the knee joint by up to 30 percent, while a walker or crutches can provide additional support and stability for people who need it.

Joint protection devices such as braces, splints, and supports can help reduce the stress on affected joints. They can provide support, stabilize the joint, and help alleviate pain. For example, a knee brace can help stabilize the joint and reduce pain and inflammation, while a wrist splint can help support the wrist joint and reduce pain and stiffness.

These tools can help people with arthritis reach and grab items that are out of reach. They can reduce the need to bend down or stretch, which can be painful for people with arthritis. For example, a reacher can help people with arthritis pick up items from the floor or reach items on high shelves without having to strain their joints.
