Living with POT can be made easier with all sorts of gadgets, aids and clever toys to help in the home and when out and about.

Below are the details of some of these, particularly when individuals are able to recommend them based on personal experience and when they are available in Australia (fancy gadgets that the supplier won’t ship to Australia are not a lot of help to us).

Item	Available in Australia From	Comments
Fold-up fishing seat	snowys.com.au/anywhere-stool	This is the one Margaret Dalton had at the 2023 Melbourne Meeting.
Luggie Electric scooter	luggiescooter.com	The one that Joy Campbell had at the 2023 Melbourne Meeting is the Elite model and retails for a little under $5,000AUD
Ta-Da Foldable Cane Chair	Various on-line sources like Amazon and eBay … but note warning to the right	There are 2 models the “Chair” with a T-shaped handle (shown at the left) and the “Chair Series 2” with a D-shaped handle, and a huge range of prices (not all of the suppliers may be shipping products of the same quality – caveat emptor). The manufacturer’s website appears to be https://www.step2gold.com.
Folding walking stick with “foot”	mobilityhireandsales.com.au/mobility-hire-sales/walking-aids/accessories-walking-aids/folding-cane	This is the “Airgo” brand that Kim Bagnall had at the 2023 Melbourne Meeting. The “foot” not only aids balance, but acts as a stand when you’re seated so the stick does not fall over or lie on the ground.
MiniMax Collapsible Stool	minimaxstool.com	This is the stool Moira Gibbens had at the 2019 Melbourne Conference. Even though they are made in Israel, they will ship to Australia. More recently very similar stools are being supplied from China.
Peak Canvas Seat Cane / Portable Seat Rest	amazon.com.au/Drive-Medical-Folding-Lightweight-Sling/dp/B002VWJYSY	This is the model that Di Toner had at the 2019 Melbourne Conference.
Walking Stick with Seat	ilsau.com.au/product/tripod-seat-stick	Colleen McDonell has used this folding seat extensively, especially when travelling overseas.
Lightweight Roller with Seat	Multiple brands and models are available from most mobility aids suppliers.	These modern units (usually carbon fibre construction) are durable and lightweight (some as little as 5kg). They provide stability in the home, and more importantly, when out and about or travelling. The seat (with a back support) is most useful when you’re forced to stop for a queue or someone wants to have a “chat”.
StudyMyTremor app	itunes.apple.com/au/app/studymytremor/id533088021	We have contacted the developer and unfortunately the app is only available for iPhone devices, so Android users are out of luck.
	orthostatictremor.org/ot-travel-card.html	This is a special  “I have a movement disorder called Orthostatic Tremor  …” disability sticker, wallet card and luggage tag.  Print it off, laminate it  and attach it to your hand luggage or walker.  Can make a big difference at airports and train stations. The orthostatictremor.org website also contains a lot of other travel-related information (including links for specific airlines).
