This
walking aid from Musmate counteracts foot drop, enabling people who find
difficulty walking without dragging their feet to move in a way that is
more confident and comfortable, reducing the risk of falling, and improving
fitness.
Uniscan
manufactures a range of three and four wheeled rollators that are lightweight
but sturdy; suitable for use both in and outdoors.
A lightweight walking frame (left) can be used indoors or out, with adjustable
legs to suit the user's height. Check that it is narrow enough to negotiate
doorways, etc, easily.
In the house, a trolley walker (right) is a convenient way of combining walking support with a means of transporting items from room to room. The lower shelf is recessed at the back so that it doesn't interfere with walking.
A
three wheeled rollator (left) is compact and folds for storage or transportation.
Handles adjust in height to suit the user, and brakes control the speed
of movement.
A four wheeled rollator (right) combines a number of features. A sturdy frame gives stable support whilst walking; there is a seat to rest on and a basket for shopping.
