Couch cane w/ Organizer Stander - AskSAMIE: Answers for Accessibility

Scooter Cup Holder Vive Health - AskSAMIE: Answers for Accessibility

3. Scooter Cup Holder

If a stroke has affected the use of one hand and leg that doesn’t leave a hand for carrying things when you need a special cane to walk. A cup holder that can attach to a mobility device adds just one more thing a person can do without asking for help - so it makes a great gift!
