Midlife cool mobility aids for the able-bodied

Initially I envisaged the idea of either scaling up toddler mobility aids for the elderly or scaling down elderly mobility aids for toddlers, but this wouldn't work because it would be perceived as belittling.

Apparently in one's dotage, one tends to focus on one's thirties as the prime of life in the sense that one's memories tend to be centred on that period. If able- bodied people in their thirties were to spend a couple of years using walking frames, mobility scooters, hoists and wheelchairs, and perhaps incontinence pads and the like, and these were somehow styled in a cool and trendy manner, they could then be replicated exactly when mobility became a real problem, which would then create nostalgia and one would also be used to them because memory would come back. They would also be less associated with the idea of getting old. Additionally, disabled access would receive more attention if the people with the most clout were actually having to emulate the physically disabled, who are disadvantaged with respect to advocacy.

One slight problem with this is that actually using mobility aids when one is in one's prime would probably lead to disability after a while. This could be addressed by doing things like making wheelchair wheels really stiff, using a heavy metal to make a walking frame, or by compensating with extra exercise at other times.
