FOR LIMITED MOBILITY

revolving Seat Cushion Fleece, £23.99, livebetterwith.com THIS portable cushion is a fleece- covered, padded turntable that can rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to swing your body round without pain. It can be used on any chair.

Designed for people having treatment for cancer, it could help anyone with limited mobility.

EXPERT COMMENT: ‘This is a great piece of equipment,’ says occupational therapist Helen Rushton. ‘Many patients who have had major surgery find twisting and turning difficult — especially if the operation has involved the abdomen. Getting in and out of a car, for instance, can be impossible. ‘ The cushion is especially helpful for those who have trouble lifting their legs and twisting simultaneously, such as people with arthritis.’
