What is CASE?

CASE includes specialised manual and powered wheelchairs, seating and positioning products, specialised pressure management cushions, children’s rehabilitation equipment and any other equipment that needs to be specially selected, prescribed, sized and fitted. Each CASE solution is highly individualised and truly unique.

Can I try the equipment?

It is essential in most situations that customers have the chance to discuss their own specialised needs with their CASE consultant, and try out the equipment before making a purchasing decision.  Your CASE consultant will work with your own health professionals to select the most appropriate options for trial: many options are able to be trialled for up to one week.

How much will it cost?

After trial, your CASE consultant will provide a detailed quote and specifications for your consideration. Many pieces of specialised equipment are funded by government and community agencies.

How do I know which CASE is right for me?

The process of choosing CASE is simplified at Aidacare, where our specialised sales staff and professional Equipment Consultants partner with health care professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Rehabilitation Engineers. We work together with your team to explore options and choose individualised solutions.

What is a Rehab Engineer?

Rehabilitation Engineering (RE) is the clinical application of engineering principles and technology in the provision of services, research, anddevelopment to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. It involves the reduction of environmental barriers, and/or the restoration or improvement of the physical, mental and social function of a person with a disability. RE's are trained over a three year period as part of an NHS certificated training course covering relevant disciplines and clinical training.  In addition RE’s are in the process of being registered with the Healthcare professionals council (HPC and registered on the voluntary register for clinical technologists) and so in the future will need to undertake the relevant degree course in the future in wanting to pursue a career in Rehab Engineering. Rehabilitation Engineering is an important element of a comprehensive rehabilitation service, and includes the following disciplines: 

• Assessment for wheeled mobility: chairs and specialist vehicles.
• Clinical assessment and analysis with regards to postural correction and accommodation to include specialised seating such as custom shaped and bespoke back supports and cushions.
• Assessment of assistive technology (AT), for all activities of daily living in domestic, educational, vocational, recreational, social and institutional environments.
• Assistive technology (AT), including access to communication technology, customised or modified controls, environmental controls, and integrated systems.
• Independent work in specialist clinical areas to help innovate solutions with regards to clinical and client specific problems.
• Development and adaptation of proprietary equipment to meet specific needs of the individual, including detailed risk assessment where required.
