Other Mobility Aids

Wheelchairs

A special wheelchair cum pedalled tricycle developed by MIT USA with BMVSS as a partner is particularly useful for off-road undulated terrains, mostly for paraplegic patients, bilateral amputees and bilateral polio patients. Field trials have given a positive feedback. The wheelchairs of the design of World Health Organisation are also being fabricated & supplied to patients particularly those suffering from paraplegia.

Hearing Aids

On a small scale, hearing aids are also being provided to patients suffering mainly from profound hearing loss.

Hand-Pedalled Tricycles

Patients who have lost both their feet or have lost mobility of their lower limbs due to polio or other reasons have to crawl or be carried around. Hand-pedalled tricycles, with the Indian Standard Institute mark, provided by BMVSS free of cost enable them to move around independently and with dignity.

Crutches

BMVSS provides crutches to needy people with disabilities. The crutches have ISI certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards of the Government of India.

Prosthesis

Calipers

Calipers are devices that enable people with motor disabilities — including polio-afflicted patients — to walk and thereby remain mobile. While polio has been eradicated from India and as such there are no new polio cases detected, patients with polio continue to throng BMVSS to get calipers fitted.
