Hey guys I was just wondering: if you have a custom made walking frame, how long did it take for it to be made and did you have to pay for it?

the rule for equipment supplied seems to be as cheap as possible and minimal
nearly forgot--- also as slow to supply as possible
anything with a disability equipment tag on it immediately becomes extortionately priced in the private sector
so I have resorted to making what i need myself.disgusted by the charges for mobility scooter and power chair repair
i have handmade tricycles step through frame bicycles, home made swimming fins etc. if you know what changes you want i can make it. Probably start with a second hand walking frame and chop and change as needed. until it works well. Everyone will scream "you cant do that! " "What if you fall? what about the health and safety aspects!!" I personally know that compared with the mental anguish of being limited by poor or no equipment its worth the risk------ Everything in life is a risk ,risk assessment is just a fancy name for planning sensible behaviour If all else fails just post what you need doing . and i will help you make it then if we put pictures of it being made on youtube lots of people can benefit
