Power standing isn’t just a feature – it can be the difference between getting by and getting back to what matters most.

Inside Episode 6 of the Redefining What’s Possible podcast:

OT and Permobil Director of Clinical Services Tilly Brook shares a simple (but powerful) assessment tip: look beyond diagnosis and start with the person’s world.

Photos on the wall.
The fishing trip that hasn’t happened in years.
The hobbies, roles and routines that quietly disappear over time.

Because that’s often where the real goals live – and where the right powered mobility solution can make the biggest impact.

Throughout the episode, we also explore:
→ How standing can support participation, function and quality of life (not just “clinical benefits”)
→ Using the ICF framework to structure reasoning and link goals to outcomes
→ Considerations, precautions and trial planning – plus when to pull in the wider MDT

ILS ATP, Miguel captures the heart of the ILS Trials program. Real environments and real challenges - supermarkets, trams, cafes, busy footpaths and all the unpredictability of everyday life.

Trials aren’t about finding a quick solution. They allow time to assess, adjust and confirm what truly works, so the equipment fits the person and their lifestyle.

A strong example of the care, clinical reasoning and professionalism our ATPs bring to every trial, and a reminder that assistive technology is ultimately about supporting people to do what matters most to them. 💙

All I want for Christmas is a pink wheelchair! ✨💖

Two days before Christmas, Brooke received something pretty special. A wheelchair designed exactly as she requested, bold, joyful and very pink.

Our wonderful ATP Sarah Sheldon delivered the chair to Brooke and couldn’t be happier: “I delivered her chair today and I have been so excited to get this one to her because it is so pinked out!! She asked for everything pink and we delivered!”

It arrived just in time for Christmas celebrations, bringing smiles, independence and the joy of being the pink heart of the festive party!

Merry Christmas Brooke from all of us at ILS 🎄🩷

A walking stick is only safe and supportive IF it’s the right height.

Here’s how to get it right:
– Wear supportive footwear
– Stand tall with arms relaxed at your sides
– Handle height should line up with the wrist crease
– Elbow should have a 10–20° bend when holding the stick

A poorly fitted stick can cause pain, poor posture and even increase falls risk – so it’s worth getting right.
