Introduction

Caring for a stroke patient at home requires more than patience – it requires the right equipment.

Stroke patients often face difficulty moving, breathing problems, and risk of bedsores from prolonged lying down. This article lists 3 key tools: wheelchairs, suction machines, and ripple mattresses – and explains why they are essential for recovery and daily care.

1. Why Stroke Patients Need Special Support Equipment

• Stroke can cause partial or complete paralysis

• Everyday activities like sitting, eating, and breathing become difficult

• Without proper equipment, complications can worsen

• Long hospital care is expensive and less accessible

Having the right tools at home can improve the quality of life for both patients and caregivers.

2. Wheelchairs: Daily Mobility & Comfort

Wheelchairs help patients:

• Move from bed to toilet or kitchen

• Improve sense of independence and self-worth

• Prevent complications from lying down too long

Best options: Electric or foldable wheelchairs – easier to use and more portable.

3. Suction Machine: Clearer Breathing Support

Bedridden stroke patients often struggle to cough or expel phlegm. A suction machine helps by:

• Removing mucus from airways

• Preventing lung infections (pneumonia)

• Making care easier for those with breathing tubes

Tip: Choose a compact, portable model for home use.

4. Ripple Mattress: Prevent Pressure Sores (Bedsores)

Ripple or bubble mattresses are vital for patients who:

• Lie in the same position for long periods

• Have limited mobility

• Are at high risk of developing bedsores

Key functions:

• Evenly distribute body pressure at intervals

• Provide micro-massage to skin

• More comfortable and durable

5. Home Care Tips for Stroke Patients

• Change lying positions every 2–3 hours

• Maintain oral and skin hygiene

• Use support tools like bed rails, disposable pads, and adult diapers

• Perform light physiotherapy exercises if permitted by a doctor

• Monitor signs of infection or blood pressure changes
