The book provides competent advice on care provision and the correct use of aids. The appropriate and timely selection of aids, as well as their proper application and maintenance, help those in need of care manage their daily lives better and make life easier for all caregivers involved. However, handling these aids is not always straightforward, and some techniques may not be entirely clear. Caregivers and staff from other healthcare professions have a compact resource in this book to support patients and relatives in choosing suitable aids, to provide professional guidance on their use and operation, and to offer advice on maintenance. In the online section: for example, training on the handling and application of selected aids as practical assistance or for short courses.
