Frequently Asked Questions About Our Mobility Aids
The best walking aids for elderly depend entirely on the intended use. For maximum stability and weight-bearing support, choose a traditional walking frame or non-wheeled walker. For outdoor use and to allow rests during outings, pick a rollator with a seat and reliable hand brakes. If you require ease of lifting and compact storage for transport, select a lightweight, foldable walker model.
To choose the right elderly walking aid, start by identifying the main need: Stability vs. Movement. Here is a breakdown of the primary types to consider:
- Walking Frames: Offer maximum stability for indoor or rehabilitation use but require lifting.
- Rollators (3 or 4 wheels): Best for movement, outdoor use, and convenience (seat/brakes).
- Wheeled Walkers: A good intermediate option for those needing some support and easier gliding.
We highly recommend utilising our therapist-guided fitting to ensure the walking aid is adjusted to the correct height for maximum safety and proper posture.
The key difference is functional design. A rollator is technically a type of wheeled walker but is always equipped with wheels (usually three or four), hand brakes, and often a built-in seat to support continuous motion and comfort. A standard walker or walking frame has four legs with rubber tips that the user must lift or slide, emphasising maximum non-rolling stability.
