Equipment for ALS- There are some pretty consistent and serious pieces of equipment an ALS person will need. I've listed them. As you read through this and other pages, with explanations and websites, you'll find the more advance and serious equipment. Many can be  borrowed from your ALS association's loaner program. At first, before the serious stuff, you'll need things like: a cane, portable wheelchair, walker, various braces for upper and lower limbs and extremities, larger or adapted clothing and a light stretching/exercise/yoga program. All these can be found online or supplied by your ALS clinic or your neurologist and therapists.  Also, pulmonary function becomes key. Be sure you're seeing a pulmonologist familiar with ALS. The disease sucks, but you can live productively with it. It's frightening, I know, but you can do it!
