Increasing knowledge of the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle has led to an older generation of people being motivated to remain active.
Mobility is a deciding factor in this process and when limited, there are obvious risks that affect a person’s health and wellness.
When mobility is limited, an older person’s ability to manage everyday situations is affected and they may increasingly become dependent on healthcare equipment and services.
A rollator is a lightweight frame that is used to provide walking support, with the added advantages of swivel front wheels and a temporary seat. Rollator is a type of walking aid which has some similarities to walker in their design structure and usage. The rollator is an affordable option for a variety of disabilities.
Rollator has some benefits that can help people with mobility issues which are listed below:
- Rollator is built to allow individuals to take seated rest breaks, while simultaneously providing the opportunity to move as swiftly or slowly as they please.
- Fold up backrests, locking cable brakes, and folding seats are a few of the features of rollator.
- Frame-based baskets for personal storage. The basket offers the opportunity to bring along valuable personal items and/or medical items such as portable oxygen tanks.
- Rollators are very practical as indoor and outdoor mobility aids. Because they are light and foldable, they can easily be placed in the trunk of a car or in other storage areas for transport. Some models can also be used on rougher terrains which should appeal to adventurous types.
- Rollators are cost effective in comparison to similar equipment. When deciding on a walking aid, prices vary greatly across a wide variety of products.
- Rollator is height adjustable. This means that the user can adjust the item to match their comfort and stability needs.
