Tired of your boring knee walker or cane? Then it’s time to jazz up your medical equipment! Take your walker, 
wheelchair or cane to the next level with just a few simple ideas. There are many options to customize or decorate your walker, knee walker, power mobility scooter, cane or CPAP mask. Some are so easy you can even do it yourself.
One simple way is to choose a vibrant color when ordering your medical equipment wheelchair or walker from any one of our medical supply stores in Minneapolis or St. Paul. We offer a wide selection of colors. The manufacturer will build the equipment using your color choice and it will be unique, customized and colorful right out of the box. You could also add a decorative basket to your knee walker or wheelchair. Not only is a basket a nice visual for mobility equipment but it can help you or a loved-one transport items safely while and maintaining the functionality to continue managing daily chores or errands independently.
It doesn’t take long to begin having underarm pain and chafing when using crutches. To solve this issue and jazz up your crutches, add pillow pets! Similarly, to make your wheelchair or rollator a bit more unique and comfortable, add a pillow or seat cushion with a fun pillowcase or covered in fabric you love.
Consider changing the décor of your wheelchair, knee walker or walking cane as the holidays change. Use colored, plastic party streamers, or seasonal decorations to fit the holiday or season. Adding a horn or bell to the basket is a fun accent. 
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by decorating your walking cane. Simply wrap bright green ribbon around it and even add a four-leaf clover or leprechaun to dangle off the handle. Or, create an Easter basket by adding some grass and decorated Easter eggs to your wheelchair, power scooter or knee walker basket. You can even ‘hide’ some treats inside for the young children who visit you! Be creative with each holiday or season and the best part is, you will always be able to spot your walker or chair amongst all the other plain, black boring ones!
Don’t be embarrassed by how you look in your CPAP or nebulizer mask, add some accents. Show your Minnesota spirit by attaching this cute Twins player to the tube on your mask. Stop in at any of the eight metro Liberty Oxygen & Medical Equipment locations – we’re fun to work with and would be glad to help you with ideas to make your current equipment unique or help you customize new mobility equipment as you order. U
se some of these simple ideas to ‘jazz up’ your medical equipment… because life is too short to have a boring wheelchair!
Well I will be honest, I have never witnessed walkers and other walking aids so “tricked out” before. I suppose if it’s something that you will use a lot, then you might as well have it be tailored to fit your personality and style! My mother currently uses a walker, but perhaps we will just start jazzing up hers on our own. Thanks for the cool post.
This is such a cute idea. If you have to use mobility aids you might as well make them your own! I really like the hot pink and zebra stripes. Nothing says “sassy” quite like hot pink. They should make every mobility aid with color choices.
I had no idea that these kinds of things could be down to medical equipment. Maybe I should find someone in my area who could do this for my uncle’s wheelchair. Hopefully we can find something sooner rather than later.
