Many children with disabilities need support to sit, stand, and move around. Without this support, their condition often worsens over time. To improve mobility, AK has developed a range of innovative equipment to address various needs. We also have a dedicated on-site workshop that produces simple appliances and aids customized to suit each child’s specific requirements.
These aids empower children to participate in activities they value and enjoy. Examples include:
- Standing frames
- Mobility aids
- A variety of special/adaptive seating
- Other postural aids
We provide personalized assistive solutions to meet the unique needs of each family and child. From custom-made wheelchairs to specialized devices, we design and build everything around the child, ensuring a perfect fit.
Our team includes experienced clinicians, technicians, and skilled local carpenters who collaborate to create the best solutions. Our appliance officers are trained in sustainable, cost-effective, and functional design, following the World Health Organization (WHO) Intermediate-Level Wheelchair Provision Standards for children with disabilities.
We have demonstrated that high-quality equipment available abroad can be locally produced at minimal cost using indigenous materials. This sustainable approach leverages local skills, providing cost-effective and efficient patient care.All our assistive devices are provided free of charge to children, ensuring accessibility and support for every family.
At AKI we provide around 1000 tailor-made assistive devices to the children each year.
To provide better mobility, AKi has developed specific innovative equipment for home use for a variety of issues and we have the facility in the clinic to manufacture aids of our own design. We have our own workshop where all the aids are prepared and modified according to the need of the child.
