Choosing the right walking aid for you or your loved one can be confusing because of the many varied mobility products to choose from. Below are two types of walker you can choose from.
Basic Walker (without wheels)
This is the most common type of walker, and it is available in heavy duty and junior styles. These are best used on indoor surfaces. Because there are no wheels, basic walkers provide the most stability for those who need a little extra help.
Wheeled Walkers
These are simply walkers with wheels. The wheels provide easier mobility and ease of movement outdoors. Wheeled walkers are classified as those walkers with two wheels in the front of the walker. These wheels are often fixed, meaning they do not swivel side to side. Wheeled walkers are a good choice for those who want extra stability but want help traversing uneven terrain
