  • Fun and Function

    Children may outgrow their tennis shoes and their Barbie dolls, their playhouses and their Tonka trucks, but leading manufacturers in pediatric mobility are making sure they won’t outgrow their wheelchairs or scooters — at least not anytime soon. Manufacturers are responding to the increasing number of children who are diagnosed with special mobility needs at an early age by designing mobility products that will last as a child grows and develops. But as parents come to mobility providers with increasingly younger children in need, this ambitious goal isn’t easy to achieve. “You used to wait until a child was four, five or six years old.

  • Still a Solid Profit Center

    A burgeoning population, health conditions and diseases that are merely treated — not cured — and more efficient diagnostic practices make the respiratory market a solid profit center that continues to increase. Jacquelyn McClure BS, RRT, director of Lubbock, Texas-based The MED Group’s National Respiratory Network, says home oxygen and treatment for sleep-disordered breathing are the segments of the respiratory market that are bringing providers the most revenues, but adds that information technology is also making a strong impact. According to McClure, technologies that can replace routine activities to free up labor for complex problem-solving and assessment activities are on the rise.
