Do I Need a Rollator? Additional considerations in choosing a walking aid

Do I Need a Rollator?
Additional considerations in choosing a walking aid

Once the best rollator is selected to fit your physical status, there are many other factors that still affect the final decision.

The following questions may help determining the better decision.

1. What is the primary reason of the rollator?

• To increase independence in daily activities (toileting, bathing, in/out of home)?

• To improve mobility in the home or outside?

• To improve community access?

• To improve competitive employment?

• To improve safety?

• To improve exercise tolerance?

2. Do I need a rollator on a temporarily or a permanently?

3. Can I learn how to use a rollator safely, and consistently
apply the new knowledge?

• Maybe I should choose a simple rollator with few accessories and limited moving parts?

4. Where do I use the walker?

• Small spaces vs. large spaces: Do I have the space to turn a large rollator? What about the space beside your bed, in front of your fridge, in the bathroom? Can my rollator fit through doorways?

• Stairs (inside, outside): Do I need a lightweight rollator to carry up and down stairs? Do I need a second rollator for indoor? Do I live with someone who can help me carry the rollator?

• Obstacles vs. clear pathways which I may encounter.

• Parking (inside, outside, distance): Are there any barriers between where I park or where I get in and out of a car and my home?

• Transportation (independent driver, family or friends drive, community transportation for people with disabilities, or taxi/public transportation): Will my rollator fit my mode of transportation? Can I lift it into my vehicle if I’m alone?

• Do I need a seat built into my rollator if distances are longer than I can walk?

• Is the rollator used predominantly indoors or outdoors? Indoor use allows for the purchase of lighter and smaller frames. Outdoor use requires the purchase of rollators with locked frames, heavy duty components and better quality casters.

5. Social Supports

• If I live alone: Do I need to choose a walker that provides more stability because I’m alone? 

• Community Supports: Who can help me? How available is my help? – 24 hours a day, a few hours a day, a few hours a week. Consider family, friends, publicly funded help, and privately paid help.

• Financial situation: Can I afford the rollator that I need? Standard rollators are less expensive and more available second hand. Do I have insurance coverage or government assistance or can I access charitable assistance?
