In case you missed our announcement last year, Lightning Mobility joined the Astris PME family in September 2021 and has opened a brand new facility in Queanbeyan.

Astris PME has been improving lives in Australia since 1952, including servicing ACT since the 1980's. Lightning Mobility was founded in 1992, dedicated to providing a greater quality of life for people with a disability. By joining forces, Astris PME provides unrivalled expertise and the best range of configured equipment for long term Assistive Technology (AT) equipment users.

As part of the merge, a new facility has recently opened in Queanbeyan, which is located 10km from Canberra CBD. Clients in the ACT and Regional NSW areas have access to a world class line up of AT equipment, the best range of demo equipment, and highly experienced staff who are dedicated to finding a solution to suit individual needs. As a company we provide totally unbiassed product recommendations from a very wide range of international AT equipment suppliers so you can be assured that the advice you receive is suited to you and your needs or those of your clients.

 

Our new office and showroom at 3 Dominion Place Queanbeyan includes trial and clinic rooms with a booking system to ensure appointments are carried out in a COVID-safe way. We also have experienced consultants on hand to provide support, advice, and equipment adjustments. There is plenty of off the street carparking spaces, free Wi-Fi, complimentary coffee and tea, and a 'hot desk' area for clinicians to use free of charge before and after appointments.

 

Our Specialist Consultants for this region are Rod, Wes, Cameron, Brad, Arlen, Darren and Oliver. The team’s combined knowledge and expertise amount to 60 years of industry experience. They are supported by the dedicated Customer Service team of Janelle, Clarissa, Elsie and Breanna. The entire team are committed to providing a great level of service and customer care.

    Adaptive Cycling – Let’s get riding!

    In the wake of updated World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines emphasizing the importance of physical activity for individuals with chronic conditions or disabilities, adaptive cycling emerges as an exciting avenue to promote both physical and mental well-being. The WHO recommends 60 minutes a day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity, mostly aerobic, physical activity, across the week and that sedentary time should be limited. Cycling embodies all of this.  Let's explore how trikes, particularly the Rifton Adaptive Tricycle and Schuchmann Momo Trike, play a crucial role in making cycling a reality for children facing unique challenges.

    Life from a Different Perspective: Why do we stand?

    The human body is inherently structured for an upright posture. From the initial stages of development, the progression is directed towards achieving an upright stance—beginning with the ability to roll over in the first few months, followed by crawling at approximately 9 months, and culminating in the act of pulling oneself to stand at around 10 months. This developmental trajectory is driven by the overarching aim of attaining the distinct perspective and autonomy afforded by independent standing and mobility.

    Powerchair scripting – the functional effects of choices

    This could be for a number of reasons such as reducing the stress on shoulder joints, insufficient strength, fatigue, independence, or accessing powered seating functions. Overall, there are likely several goals for wheelchair users and their families as well as the clinical considerations of their therapy team to take into account.

    A look at the why and how of power add-on units

    A systematic review in 2016, explored factors influencing participation of wheelchair users in their social and community environments. The scope to change outcomes by addressing some factors or accommodating for others was also identified. When looking at the “modifiable” factors, there is a wide range where the use of a power add-on unit can improve participation and access. Some examples include:

    Specialist seating and the new Smart Seat Pro II

    Supporting seating and posture throughout the day, often requires more than one piece of assistive technology to optimise function, participation, and quality of life. When a wheeled mobility device with seating is not able to meet certain goals, using an alternative specialty seating system can be considered.
