AB When  health  care  resources  are  limited,  rehabilitation  services  are  rare.  You  may  need  to  improvise  rehabilitation  equipment  for  use  in  therapy  or  to  help  patients  with  mobility  and  activities  of  daily  living  (ADL).  Therapy  devices  help  patients  gain  or  regain  activity  levels  as  close  as  possible  to  normal.  Equipment  used  for  mobility  and  ADL  helps  patients  function  better  in  their  daily  lives,  despite  decreased  physical  ability.  For  convenience,  I  will  discuss  each  of  these  separately.
