Walkers and Rollators: A Helpful Summary on Getting the Right Mobility Aid
It’s a good idea to understand the differences between the two aids before selecting one. Here are the key points to keep in mind:
Walkers: These devices stay in place and are lifted slightly with each step. Walkers provide maximum stability and are great if you have good upper body strength, but a worry about balance.
Rollators: These devices have wheels, and as the name implies, can be pushed forward, which make it easier to maneuver a longer distance. Many rollators also have padded seats that allow the user to take break by sitting down.
Choosing either a walker or rollator ultimately comes down to your needs, your balance, and the environment in which you will be using.
