Some good considerations here that I wasn't aware of (relative newbie to the assistive device world). Especially, using the walker to take some of the exertion. I knew that about shopping carts, but hadn't thought of the same principle applied to the walker. Cool!

I "just now" got a brand new large wheel terrain walker just like you had in your demonstration. My wheels are larger with thicker tires. I am already loving it ! I like to go out side and walk anywhere. Now you gave me the perfect presentation of how I am to stand and use it ! I was 'wondering' about my stance and walking with my new walker. Thank you so much for this video.

You're welcome. Glad you're enjoying your new walker.

I have MS and that comes with drop right foot which causes hip, back and knee pain when I walk. I am considering getting a rollator walker to get some walking exercise. Thanks for showing how to use properly.

You're welcome. Here's another video about foot drop. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYqA6M4bRCA.html

I have two! I have spinal stenosis in c3,4 and 5 and they give me such piece of mind over falling and reinjuring myself!

This is great but I’d love to see how you’d use it if you have severely contracted knees and hips and unable to stand/walk or even sit with a straight back ( my back itself is very straight/flat it’s just bent over from my waist.) I currently resting my arms, from my elbow to my wrist on the handle bars and I hold onto the back supporter. Now, I know that I have no use of the brakes this way but I am never alone when out of the house and I can’t walk fast anyways, lol!!

Thank you for your instructive video. My physical therapist has recommended that I graduate from the standard walker to a rollator. My biggest fear is of it getting away from me. You did speak about this in the video; however, I'm still a little nervous. Is it a matter of practicing indoors before I venture out? Thank you.

Keeping your body inside of the handles rather than walking with it out in front of you should prevent it from getting away from you. However, most have handbrakes if needed just in case it does start to get away from you.

Looking for an all-terrain rollator made for a one-handed user (stroke survivor). Or even just the crossbar to install on it. I can’t find either! Got any ideas?

Is this like what you had in mind? amzn.to/49keFN2

@agnescabacungan6030 2 месяца назад

How can you use a rollator with one hand.

@More4Life 2 месяца назад

They make platform walkers like this one where you can lean or your forearms if you can't use one hand due to injury or stroke or some other reason. amzn.to/49keFN2
