Mobility & Walking Support

A standard walker gives the most support and suits users who lean on it with each step. A rollator – a rolling walker with hand brakes and a seat – suits users who walk steadily but tire and need somewhere to sit. A cane suits milder balance needs.

What to check

• Weight capacity – bariatric rollators and walkers have reinforced frames; pick a rating above the user’s weight.
• Width between the handles – the user should stand inside the frame without their hips touching it.
• Handle height – with arms relaxed at the sides, handles should sit level with the wrist crease.
• Seat width and height on rollators, and the folded size if it has to go in a car.
• Wheel size – larger wheels roll more easily outdoors.

Wheelchair cushions and accessories are in this department too – check the cushion size against the wheelchair seat.
