For a person that still has the ability to walk, more and more doctors are prescribing rolling walkers rather than wheelchairs. This is because studies show light exercise has great health benefits for seniors. The trend now is for doctors to tell their patients who are still fairly fit to get out and move rather than take it easy. Walking is great exercise for everyone, especially seniors, as a way to keep the blood moving and the muscles working. A rolling walker also has mental advantages, making the user feel more independent. Since rollators now come in flashy, bright colors, and with all sorts of accessories, it is a piece of equipment that one can feel proud to own and display.

It is important however that someone who uses a rolling walker be physically able to operate the hand brakes. They are not suitable for someone with limited hand mobility or someone who has especially bad arthritis. The user must also be able to remember to use the brakes, so a sound mind is important, since the walker can easily roll away from the user, causing a fall. Since almost all wheeled walkers also come with seats, it is also important to remember to put the brakes in a locking position before sitting. Again, injury is a possibility otherwise.

So, if you have a need for aided mobility, check out a rolling walker or rollator, but go slow and don't force yourself to walk or move faster.  After all, you don't want to have a spin out on the slippery floors in the mall.
