What to Choose: A Walker or Rollator


 
Health
Most of the people think that rollators and walkers are same time, but the truth is that they are the two different kinds of equipments. Although, both of them are used to help those people who are suffering from mobility issues with walking, but both of them use different means. This article will provide you with in-depth information regarding what to choose between a walker and a rollator.

A walker is equipment which is built with aluminum supports. The main characteristic of this equipment is that while walking with it, you have to lift it, move forward and then place back down to function it properly. The major drawback is that it does not move freely and easily as a rollator. However, there are some models which have wheels that make the moving a lot easier. These models which have wheels present in them are called rolling walkers. If you compare a walker with a rollator, you will find that it costs less and gives better support.

There are usually 2 types of walker i.e. wheeled or no-wheeled. Most of the people prefer to have wheeled rolling walkers as they have small ‘caster’ wheels at the bottom of them. The wheels helps in making the walker slide, thus make the ride very easy. There is another category of walkers called Bariatric walkers. These walkers are meant for those individuals whose average weight is more than a normal individual. A normal walker can hold the weight capacity of about 250-300 lbs, but these Bariatric walkers can carry higher weight capacity, up to 600 lbs.

A rollator is more or less similar to the standard walker, but the rollator has some extra features such as brake, basket, wheel, seat, etc. The major advantage of rollator is the ease of use. They are designed in such a way that it makes the walking motion very smooth. This allows the user to slide on ground without making many efforts.

Rollators look very trendy and they come in various colors and designs. There are 2 types of rollators which are widely used all over the world. These include 3 wheel rollator and 4 wheel rollator. 3 wheel rollators are generally smaller. Some people think that these rollators are far better as compared with 4 wheel rollators. In addition, they are stylish too. On the other hand, 4 wheel rollators are larger and allow more stable drive.
