How to choose the right walker for the elderly?

There are several criteria by which a walker should be selected:

1. User growth. If the product is properly adjusted, the handles will be at wrist level. Otherwise, neck and back pain will occur when using. Before buying a walker, you should definitely ask what height they are designed for.
2. Patient weight. Each walker model has its own maximum load. This criterion is also taken into account when choosing. If the patient’s weight is more than the maximum allowable, the device will quickly break down.
3. The convenience of the handles. They can be coated with rubber or plastic. If the patient’s palms sweat a lot, it is better to choose a product with rubberized handles. In addition, the handles should not be too narrow, especially if a patient with arthritis will use the walker, because it will be painful for him to hold on to such handles.

Wheel diameter also plays an important role. Walkers with small compact wheels are suitable for moving around the premises, and for walking in fresh air it is better to give preference to models with large diameter wheels, as they have increased cross-country ability.

The above tips and the list of the best walkers for the elderly are the necessary foundation to make the right purchase that will bring the maximum benefit.
