Al, this is the company recommended to me by the clinic. I've ordered from them a few times, and the customer service is great.

Mine were made by my OT at the clinic at the hospital. Your CCAC should be able to hook you up.

Hello Al.
Al read with interest the Samson Preston catalogue. Do you or any other member of this blog know of a similar company in Australia that provides this equipment and has a catalogue to view.
Regards.

I dont know of a similar place in your neck of the woods. Have you asked them to ship to you ?
Earlier , I asked about a hand brace to keep my fingers from curling . My OT gave me a number for Sammons Preston. They were very helpful , and I have the brace I needed.

Thank you for the reply Glen.
I haven't as of yet contacted the company Glen, I thought that you, or maybe someone else reading this thread may know of a similar company in Australia. Especially any Australian readers of this thread.

Garry Lee,
The Motor Neuron Association of NSW has a huge amount of equipment that you can borrow for free if you join them (membership is free I think). THey don't have a catalogue as such, but I have visited their storage warehouse and it is packed to the rafters with equipment of all kinds.
They need an OT to see you, and to get an OT I think you need a referral from your neurologist. But once that process is in place you should be able to get any equipment you need for free.

Thank you for your reply Sesl.
I joined the association last June, when I was diagnosed on the advice of my neurologist in Tamworth. They have already supplied some equipment to me, the latest piece of equipment they have supplied was a four-wheel-drive, electric wheelchair, which is absolutely brand-new. This new chair gives me freedom to be able to go over the paddocks on my property. Seeing that I can no longer use my quad bike, this has been a real bonus, the first time I ventured down one of the paddocks my horse wonder what the hell was coming towards him.
I can no longer walk unaided due to the weakness of my right leg and have to use caliper type crutches, to walk. With the crutches, I was limited to the areas just around my home, because of the effort needed.
Again, thank you for sending this information to me.
Regards Garry Lee
