As people grow old, they develop certain forms of disabilities and become unable to do certain things which were simpler previously. Climbing stairs, walking safely and standing up from a chair or bed become quite difficult for them. The older adults then need assistive equipment to enable them to do things which they are not able to perform. This is where they require Durable Medical Equipment (DME)to make life easier and more comfortable. In today’s world, it has become quite common to hear about DME in health care settings. In fact, these devices are also used for patient care at home.
