Some years ago, I found that I was having to move around my home by grabbing the walls and furniture, due to the worsening condition of my bad knees. At that time, I bought 2 offset handled small base quad canes. They were a big help in getting around, but my knees continued to worsen, so several years ago, I upgraded to a Nova Mini Mack rolling walker. That has been an even bigger help than my canes, as it is easier to walk with it. It also has a built-in seat, padded backrest bar, a cargo basket, and both parking and intermittent brakes. I definitely recommend rollators for most people with mobility issues. Bear in mind, it doesn't cure the health issue and won't get rid of all of the pain, but at least in my case, it does reduce the pain of walking while I am using it, and I can sit and rest on the seat as needed. I do advise that people do their homework before buying a rollator, so that they get the right model for their needs. I recommend getting a model with 8 inch or larger wheels. They work better outside. Check the floor to seat height. You don't want a seat that is too high or too low. Check the space between the handle bars. Sadly, some of us have wide rump roasts, myself included, so we need a wider space between the handlebars. Check how high and low the handles can be set, so you won't be bending too far over if you are too tall for the highest setting, or straining to deal with handles that are too high, even on the lowest setting. Trust me, that is awful. Also, check the weight capacity, and how much the model weighs. Once you have done your homework, then you can look for places offering the lowest price on any models that you are interested in. I realize that there is a lot of info here, but due to my own mobility issues, I know what its like to struggle to walk, so I want everyone to get the best model for their needs.😊

Thank you, it’s a very good demostration, please if you can show us how a person ( starting Parkinson ) seated in a chair can stand up and get the rollator safely

Lovely video. My friend was in a car accident and broke her leg. She has one of these and was advised to not put any weight on that leg. I see her hopping with this thing which is very unsafe and uses a lot of energy. I could not find any videos with how to use a rollator with just one leg. Her upper body strength isn’t really there so crutches might not work for her either. Any suggestions or demonstrations out there that I missed that could help her? Thanks in advance!

I have IA Drive Duel that converts to a transport chair. I have an arthritic hip and use the chair feature when I need to walk a distance and then ask my daughter or granddaughter to accompany me to my Dr. appointments. Could you demo one that converts to a transport chair so folk needing one will know they are available.

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?

Can you use a rollator walker on stairs? I am using one but have stairs going up or down in the front or back of my place.

I broke my kneecap and still don’t know if I should use crutches or walker. I am a healthy man with a broken knee so I could use both. Doctor told me I should give like 10% weight on my leg, what do you recommend?

It depends on a number of factors. Your balance, your space, your upper body strength... Crutches require better balance and more upper body strength, put pressure on the inside of the arm and the wrists, but take up less space and make it easier to move quicker and in tighter spaces. Walkers are more stable, but still put pressure on the wrists and take up more space, are a bit slower and more awkward in tight spaces.
