How It Can Affect Mobility
EDS affects connective tissue. Some people experience unstable or painful joints and fatigue, which can make standing and walking difficult.
Exploring Support Around Your Body
If you can take steps and bear weight through your legs, LifeGlider's wrap-around support may be worth exploring for a specific everyday activity. A demonstration can help you understand the frame, harness and perching seat.
LifeGlider is a mobility aid. It does not treat Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) or establish that it is suitable for every person with this condition.
What To Consider
Think about joint comfort, harness pressure, skin sensitivity and how you enter and leave the frame. Existing advice about joint protection and activity still applies.
