Rollators, frames, sticks and crutches
A walking aid should make getting about easier. Not harder. The right one depends on how much support you need and where you’ll use it.
[CONFIRM: walking aid brands and types stocked]
Rollators
A frame on wheels with handbrakes. Many have a seat so you can stop for a rest when you’re out.
Walking frames
More support than a stick. Good around the house and for people who feel unsteady on their feet.
Walking sticks
Light support for balance. A stick should be the right height for you so it’s worth trying a few.
Crutches
Usually for a short time after an injury or operation. They take weight off one leg while you heal.
Choosing a walking aid
Buying for someone else? These are the questions worth asking before you decide.
A frame can suit the house. A rollator copes better with pavements and trips to the shops.
Too high or too low puts strain on the back and shoulders. Most can be adjusted.
Think about lifting it into a car or storing it at home. Lighter folding models help.
On a rollator check the brakes are easy to squeeze. A seat helps if they tire quickly.
