Support Item Details
Item Type: This item covers the purchase of a Walking Table, also commonly known as a gutter frame, forearm support walker, or rollator with forearm platforms. This is a highly specialised mobility aid designed for participants who require significantly greater trunk and upper-body support than a standard walking frame or rollator can provide. The key feature is the adjustable forearm troughs or platforms that distribute weight and leverage away from the hands and wrists, offering a higher degree of stability and posture control.
Purpose: As Assistive Technology, the walking table supports participants with conditions that severely affect gait, balance, or upper limb strength/weight-bearing capacity (e.g., specific neurological conditions, complex orthopaedic issues). The primary goal is to enable safe walking, improve postural stability, and support participants in performing daily activities and maintaining independence in mobility over short distances, particularly indoors.
Funding Requirement: Funding for Capital supports is restricted to items included in the participant's NDIS plan. Due to the specialised nature and often higher cost and complexity of Walking Tables, a detailed, evidence-based assessment and formal prescription is typically required. This assessment must be conducted by a qualified Allied Health Professional (e.g., Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist) to ensure the table's dimensions, adjustments, and features are clinically appropriate for the participant's complex mobility needs.
Provider Requirements: Providers claiming for this item must be a Registered Provider with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission for the relevant Registration Group, which is Personal Mobility (0105). table or forearm support
