As a senior citizen, I appreciate these types of videos!!!

@FilipinosaAmericavlog Год назад

Wow! That’s good tutorial for people with disability like me . 7 simple tips to be safe using a wheel walker with attached brake . Most applicable to most nursing homes . From Texas

@Tru1Luv24 Год назад

The hardest for me is the curb and my buildings off balance elevator...

@Tru1Luv24 Год назад

Also when sitting my brakes are not always working correctly nice video very helpful ❤

@evangelineramos6072 Год назад

Found a few hacks I didn't know about. My mom used one, and we knew about many of these. Some we had not heard of or thought of, or been told about when Mom used it. Thanks so much for the safety hints.

@corriepitt7630 Год назад

You guys are the best. We, children of elderly parents who are trying to use a walker, thank you so very much for this.

@stuckinstitches Год назад

Great information!

@zuzuspetals8323 Год назад

Yowzers. Avoid curbs! The wall idea is great. Having a friend available when navigating like this is best. I would choose to use a wheelchair rather than the rollator when helping my mom, esp. when I knew she would face many obstacles that would tire her out. Safety first. 😉

@sunflower6153 Год назад

I never thought about backing off a curb with a walker. I hope I can remember that when my time comes that I need one. 🙃

@mikethomas5412 Год назад

Great video!

@amybrumley1628 Год назад

Excellent video

@missshopper25 Год назад

Thanks for the informative video Mike and Brad! Hi Bob!! I loved my seated walker when I used it, trying to get myself stronger so I mainly use my cane to navigate around. See you guys next video! Enjoy your day! Toodles!

@tracydean3678 Год назад

Thank you for the lessons! I've been using one for a month now, its been helping a lot. Sometimes I use the seat for carrying heavy things at his point even a dinner plate can hurt my back. Osteoporosis breaks are so painful!

@rhoadespc Год назад

Very timely video for me. I ran up against the how to go down 2 steps the other day (from inside home down into garage). I'll be visiting this home again in the future, this will be really helpful -- thank you!

@reginafarias Год назад

Wow! Very dangerous device! Must be handled by an athlete, not a person with difficulty walking.

@quartz3150 11 месяцев назад

Great information. But, I disagree with going backwards off a curb. If a senior needs to do this, have a younger adult with you to navigate curbs.

@sharonzeller8262 Год назад

Thank you soooo much i was doing wrong things with my walker.

@ef5842 Год назад

Thank you both for the review. I have had chronic leg pain that started suddenly 5 months ago. I found out after seeing a sports med MD that my hip was fine, but my issue is scoliosis which caused me to fall more easily on ice, and uneven ground. I may be having surgery for the scoliosis and I will need a walker before then if I choose to walk outside in my neighborhood. Meanwhile, I am doing my leg exercises at home to stay in shape.

@KetoMama777 Год назад

Good luck

@lynne-marieheidebrink1847 Год назад

Thank you for your great video - especially the advice about curbs. My Nova Walker has a small (about 2”) tab by each wheel to aid me in moving up and down different levels. I avoid curbs. It also has a storage seat which gives me both freedom and security while I am out of the house since I can store my purse in it while I am walking or sitting. I do need to be with someone who can put it in and take it out of the vehicle. It allows me to do more around the house since I am only able to lift and carry light things which was challenging while using a cane. I do not recommend putting anything on or in it that weighs more than a few pounds - especially if you have to go up or down a step.

@breezybri7771 Год назад

I feel dumb and discovered the break locks thanks to u. Lol. I need a walker for assistance getting out of bed for my degenerative disc disease when it acts up. Ugh😢 I have been watching y'all's videos on that and slowly getting better thank you!!!!

@KetoMama777 Год назад

Brad and Mike 👋

@suzannetitkemeyernlq Год назад

Very good to know! I rarely use mine. Not much balance after a Thalamic stroke and use a cane 99% of the time. The thing that causes me to use a walker is being in a huge place with super shiny slick floors, like the airport where I would usually be toted around in a wheelchair. The walker gave me all my freedom back! But I took a huge tumble for a reason you didn't cover that I am trying to figure out how to navigate. Airline employees were grabbing at me as I exited the plant because they thought I looked unstable. I was fine until they grabbed me, fell face first over the walker. Tore a bicep, tore meniscus in my knee, ended up with stitches and a concussion from hitting the blacktop tarmac so hard just trying to get away from them. 7 weeks ago, still in PT to regain use of the arm and knee.

@sharonzeller8262 Год назад

Could you do a video on the perfect walker

@patm01 Год назад

What do you think about a 3-wheel walker/rollator? Thank you.

@brenda9513 Год назад

Would be beneficial if you used an actual person that needed and used a walker.

@sandrajeanhann8907 Год назад

BRAD - PLEASE, PLEASE READ THIS AND RESPOND...because I have always DEEPLY enjoyed both your and precious Bob's exercising videos... I am 81 years "young," and I really need your VALUABLE HELP. I recently fell two times within three hours, where I was on the floor for at least two of those hours. Although I was able to get up once (after 45 minutes on the floor), I had to call the paramedics when I fell the 2nd time - feeling very guilty that I even had to call them. I was subsequently taken to the hospital where I had a CT Scan and other tests. The doctor said my heart was fine, and CT Scan was clear. I stayed for two nights because of my very low creatine count. MY QUESTION IS: could this have been due to muscle weakness because I was never dizzy. Just wondering other seniors are experiencing this as well??? From all of us, thank you, Bob and Brad.

@quartz3150 11 месяцев назад

Muscle weakness. Balance issues. Lack of attention. Could be different things.

@headbanger1853 8 месяцев назад

I use a Nova Star 8 rollator. It's bulky due to the weight and the 8 inch wheels, so I've always used those techniques to maintain my independence. I'm 30 and been using front wheel standard walkers and four-wheeled rollators since my 20s, and I see lots of seniors using them improperly. I find the standard walkers are the easiest to transport, store and lift when I feel weaker on bad days of chronic illnesses.

@Lili-xq9sn 10 месяцев назад

What is the make/ model of walker in this video??

@keepitsimple64 7 месяцев назад

Please don't have someone push you while you are sitting on the wheelchair! Someone pushed my mom backwards while she was seated. The walker somehow tipped over and the walker and my mom fell backwards onto the floor. She struck her head and had to be transported to the ER. Luckily, she didn't have serious injuries, but lesson learned. One could get a TBI! Please do not push someone sitting in the chair.
