Mobility medical has finally gotten it’s chariot. If you are a baby boomer then you remember the movie ‘Ben Hur’ and the famous scene with Charlton Heston and the chariot races. At the time that was pretty amazing cinematography , and for that time it was considered special effects. But truth be known, the film was actually sped up to give the impression of going much faster. Let’s think about this….like it wouldn’t be fast enough if you were in one of those little chariots, being pulled by a rather spooked horse, all the while just holding on to the reins while standing up in a glorified wheel barrow. Come on. That was exciting.
Oh, I almost forgot the real reason for this article on mobility medical products. I just read a story about a mobility product for the disabled that resembles a Segway that has a tall barrel mounted to the foot platform. The individual is able to ’stand’ in this barrel and be strapped into it, for support of the back and spine. As strange as this sounds, this mobility product actually resembles one of those chariots in ‘Ben Hur’. This allows amputees and others with paralysis of the lower extremities to be in an upright position and still move about. And wouldn’t you know it, they came up with a catchy name for this mobility medical product, the Chariot. Body movement, leaning and tilting is registered as the control commands. Plus, by being at this elevated height gives the ‘rider’ the ability to see and reach items that a person in a wheel chair couldn’t because of the low seating position. An added bonus is the ability to be at eye level with able-bodied individuals, increasing the self esteem of the disabled individual.
Go check it out, it’s a very exciting mobility medical product for the disabled. More information can be found by searching for the Exmovere Company.
Till then.
I am and you’re not.

Sometimes in life, reality rears up and smacks you in the face. Well, that’s exactly what is happening to me right now. I’m one of those Baby Boomers, who until recently, didn’t really consider himself getting older. It’s amazing how kind the mind is when you let it. I’m pushing 60, so close to it I’m about to be on the other side of it. It’s getting harder everyday to crawl out of bed and to do the simplest of activities. That’s whats got me thinking about mobility medical information and products. I’ve done had the open heart surgery, the gall bladder removal, and the back just isn’t the same any more. In fact, I’m seriously thinking about renting one of those mobility scooters the next time I go to an amusement park or a State Fair. For that matter, for just about anywhere I need to walk for long distances. The plus side of that thinking is twofold: First, it appears that younger people take a little pity on the “poor old guy” in the scooter and get out of your way. Second, you get to cut in line. Is that cool, or what?! That being said, why can’t I take advantage of all the new technology and products that are being brought to this market, to address exactly my kind of needs? That’s why I decided to create this web site, to search-out all the cool new ideas, gadgets, products, and even foods that will make my “later years” just a little bit easier. After searching the web for some specific products to meet my specific needs, and not being able to find the solutions in one concise spot, I decided to put all mobility medical products in a central location. A kind of “one stop” search site. I know, to some of you 60 isn’t very old. And I suppose some of you are right, especially those of you who are pushing 100. But I guess age is relative anyway. Brain and thinking wise, I don’t seem old. Just don’t ask my body, as it has a mind of its own. It is my hope that others feel the same way and would like to contribute ideas, products, and content to this site. Please feel free to make suggestions as to what you would like to see here.
Stay tuned, much more to come.
