Our guides are not a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment or advice. Always talk to your doctor, physical therapist, occupational therapist or another qualified health professional before buying or using medical equipment, especially after surgery, a fall or a change in your health.

Equipment that is the wrong size or used incorrectly can cause injury. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, weight limits and safety warnings, and ask a professional to help with fitting and installation where needed (for example, grab bars should be installed into wall studs or with proper anchors).

Insurance and Medicare rules change and depend on your situation. Confirm coverage with Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your plan before you buy.

If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
