How to use a rollator, walking aid etc. correctly
Almost everyone has used a walking aid at some point, even if it was just to play with crutches that belonged to someone else. As a result, most people think they know how to use these devices. However, there are some simple principles that make using a walker easier and safer. A walking aid - a rollator, crutches or cane - helps to compensate for a decrease in strength, range of motion, joint stability, coordination or endurance. It can also reduce the strain on a painful joint or limb. Using a walking aid can help make you safer in your daily activities.
