  • orthopedic body braces,
  • Trusses, compression stockings,
  • artificial eyes, hearing aids,

Ill for instance of multiple sclerosis and need an electrically powered wheelchairs, costing in excess of € 10,000 are quickly reached. This provider does but only to a maximum of 620 euros. That means you have to pay the rest yourself.

Sample speech therapy and occupational therapy
