Canes
A cane will support your body weight and help transfer the load from the legs to the upper body. This is an ideal option for users who are at risk of falling. Most users who utilize canes have mild to moderate issues with balance and stability. Some canes are foldable or adjustable depending on the specific model you choose.
Walkers
Walkers consist of a metal frame with four legs that provide the user with stability and support. You’ll need to have enough upper body strength to lift the frame and move it forward as you walk. There are some models that have wheels or glides on the base of the legs so you can slide it forward instead of lifting it.
Crutches
Crutches are similar to canes in helping to transfer weight from the legs to the upper body. You’ll have the choice of using one or two crutches. This mobility aid helps keep the user upright and are often used in short-term injuries or permanent disabilities. The most common options are axillary crutches for the underarms and Lofstrand crutches for the forearms.
Rollators
In some cases, a rollator may be the best choice. This type of walking aid is designed for ease of use. You won’t need to lift your equipment off the ground as you walk. All four legs on this device come with wheels, which means it will easily slide forward. If you’re someone who experiences weakness when standing or walking, you may benefit from the additional support that this equipment provides. As you browse rollators for sale, you’ll see that some models come with a seat and removable back. This means you’ll have excellent balance when you sit down. It’s important to note that you should not use your device to support all of your body weight as it can cause falls and injuries.
