Introduction: Why Physiotherapist Guidance Matters
Choosing the right mobility or rehabilitation equipment is more than just a purchase — it’s a crucial step toward long-term independence and safety. That’s why physiotherapy-based trials are essential before committing to any assistive device.
Under the guidance of physiotherapists, patients can test products in a clinically supervised environment, ensuring every recommendation aligns with their rehabilitation goals and physical capabilities. At Assistive Tech Hub, we make this process simpler by connecting clinics and patients with trial-ready mobility aids designed for safety, comfort, and confidence.
You can browse our full range of rehabilitation and mobility aids through our online store, all available for in-clinic or guided trials.
Benefits of Physiotherapy-Based Trials
Personalized Assessment for Patient Needs
Every person’s mobility needs are unique. Through physiotherapy-based trials, patients receive individual assessments of balance, strength, and posture while trying different aids.
This ensures that each mobility device — from a wheelchair or walker to a daily living aid — fits the user’s physical abilities and environment perfectly. This personalised process supports both short-term comfort and long-term rehabilitation outcomes.

Avoiding Unsuitable Equipment Purchases
Buying assistive equipment without proper assessment can lead to poor fit, pain, or even injury. Physiotherapy-supervised trials reduce these risks by ensuring every product truly supports patient needs.
Many of our mobility aids are available for demonstration and adjustment during clinical trials, allowing physiotherapists to fine-tune features for optimal safety and usability.
If you’re unsure about what suits your rehabilitation plan, you can contact our team for professional assistance and arrange a guided equipment trial.
Types of Equipment Tested in Physiotherapy Trials
Wheelchairs and Walkers
Wheelchairs and walkers are two of the most frequently trialled mobility aids in physiotherapy clinics. During these trials, physiotherapists focus on proper seating, posture, and maneuverability.
Assistive Tech Hub offers a variety of lightweight and sturdy wheelchairs, along with ergonomic walkers, that can be adjusted to match individual needs. Explore our wheelchair and walker collection here.
Gait Trainers and Daily Living Aids
For patients in active rehabilitation, gait trainers and daily living aids are essential tools to enhance mobility and independence. Physiotherapists guide patients on how these devices affect gait, posture, and muscle control — ensuring every piece of equipment contributes to steady progress.
