What features should I look for when purchasing a walker?

When selecting a walker, it is important to ensure that your preferred option meets all of your basic needs. The following factors should be considered when choosing a walker:

• Height of the Walker - When purchasing a walker, customers must ensure that the measurements of the walker and the user are compatible when standing and walking.
• Width of the walker - Buyers should always check the walker's inside and overall width. Inside dimensions are checked to assure proper posture, and outside width is checked to confirm maneuverability through the house and doors.
• Weight Capacity - Make sure to check the specifications part to see the weight capacity of the adult walker. You can also choose the desired range with the "By Weight Capacity" filter on the category page and pick the option you see fit.

Mobility Walkers FAQs

Are walkers safe for the elderly?

Walkers are a safe, flexible, and cost-effective way to help maintain an active lifestyle. Walkers can be a game-changer for elders struggling with reduced mobility, but they are not one-size-fits-all.

When should an older adult use a walker?

Walkers, which adjust to patient height, are an excellent choice when your senior patient or parent:

• Only needs partial support for their body weight.
• Requires more balanced stability than a cane provides.
• Has the upper body strength and mobility to lift the walker, then set it down and step forward.

Do walkers help prevent falls?

A walking aid, such as a cane or walker, can help you stay more independent and prevent falls. Remember to keep your walking aid within easy reach when you're in a chair or bed. And learn how to use it safely, so you don't injure yourself. Be sure the cane or walker is the correct height.
