Abstract
This paper looks at how instruments, animals or members of the household (slaves or family members) assisted in securing wellbeing and health for those facing the challenges of impairment. ‘Spontaneous’ yet hard to answer questions will be dealt with. Were wheelchairs, guide dogs, and ear trumpets in use in Antiquity? And how far did people identify with such aid, and recognised it as ‘being part of themselves’
