Walkers

A walker is a fairly basic option and comes with four legs that stay on the ground as you move it forward. Keep in mind that you will need to have enough strength to lift it up and move it as you walk. The legs on these devices don’t come with wheels attached, but there are accessories that you can buy that will enable your walker to slide forward. This eliminates the need for strength as there will no longer be a need to lift the device. A walker is ideal for users who require partial body weight support. It will help maintain your balance as you walk. If you struggle with balance and are at risk of falling, you should consider buying a walker.

Rollators

Another option to consider is a rollator, which is a walking aid that’s designed for users who experience weakness when standing. It’s also an ideal pick for those who need additional support when they’re walking. A rollator looks somewhat like a walker with the main difference being that it comes with wheels on four of the legs. This means your device will easily slide forward as you walk and you’ll never have to worry about lifting it off the ground. This is an excellent feature to have. With that said, you should never rely on your rollator to support your full body weight as it can lead to falls and injuries. Some rollators come with a built-in seat and a removable back that offer superior balance while sitting.
