Equipment Program

About this resource

Muscular Dystrophy Canada's Equipment Program provides encouragement to individuals impacted by neuromuscular disorders. Next to finding a cure, the highest priority for individuals living with neuromuscular disorders is the need for essential equipment. Muscular Dystrophy Canada's longstanding equipment program has assisted thousands of individuals in obtaining the equipment needed to enhance their quality of life. By working with other funders and government we share resources to best leverage donor dollars to cover costs of assistive devices and equipment.
