Rolling walkers
There are different types of rolling walkers that people can choose to use. Knowing which walker could best accommodate your needs will be an advantage when you make the purchase.
The two main types of rolling walkers will be discussed here:
• Three-wheeled walkers – Three-wheeled walkers have the advantage of being able to assist the user with more maneuverability. These walkers are especially useful to those people who might not be able to move around quite as well as they used to, but are also not completely reliant on the rolling walkers as well. You can move around corners and narrow hallways with relative ease in a walker like this.
• Four-wheeled walkers – These rolling walkers also serve their purpose of allowing people to get around, but they are not quite as mobile as three-wheeled walkers might be. On the other hand, these walkers are able to make up for their lack of mobility with their advantage in stability. If you are more concerned about being stable than you are concerned about being mobile, then this is the right kind of walker for you.
Either of these rolling walkers will give you more maneuverability than a standard walker without wheels, but the most effective walker really depends on exactly what your needs are.
