Mobility equipment

Walkers

Walkers provide additional stability and support for individuals who experience difficulty walking independently. They are commonly used by older adults, individuals recovering from surgery, and people with balance or mobility limitations.

Walkers are designed to support safer movement and help users maintain independence during everyday activities.

Available types

  • Standard Walker

    A four-legged frame that provides firm support and is typically lifted slightly during walking.

  • Rolling Walker

    Features wheels that allow smoother forward movement with less lifting.

  • Rollator Walker

    A wheeled walking aid typically equipped with hand brakes and, on many models, a built-in seat for resting.

Comparing walker features

  • Wheels or a frame

    The choice between a frame without wheels and a wheeled model depends on the support you need and your ability to lift or control the equipment.

  • Features to compare

    Compare handle height, folding arrangements and any fitted brakes or seat.

  • Match your abilities

    A therapist can help choose a model that matches your strength and balance.

Keeping daily movement manageable

  • Check your walker and route

    Inspect the tips and wheels for wear, and keep walking routes clean, dry and free of loose cords or rugs.

  • Carry everyday belongings

    A compatible bag or basket can help carry small belongings while keeping your hands available for the handles.

  • Learn the movements

    Ask a therapist for instruction on sitting, standing and changes in floor level.
