Walkers

You may want to consider a walker if you struggle with balance issues. This is an ideal walking aid for users who are at risk of falling. A walker is made of a frame and four legs that remain on the ground as you move. Keep in mind that you’ll need to be able to lift it off the ground and move it forward as you walk. The four legs are not equipped with wheels but there are accessories you can buy that enable it to slide forward to there’s no need to lift it. If you need partial body weight support to maintain your balance as you walk, this is the perfect choice.

Rollators

If you’re not able to lift your device forward as you walk, you should think about investing in a rollator instead. This device is sometimes referred to as a wheeled or rolling walker as it bears a striking resemblance but it has wheels attached to each of its legs. This walking aid is the best option for those who experience weakness when standing and need additional support when walking. It’s nice to have a device that slides forward, but you should never use it to support all of your body weight as it can lead to falls and injuries.
