If you need more mobility and stability support over longer distances, a rollator is a better mobility aid than canes or walkers. The rollator’s wheels allow you to expend less energy during long walks. Also, you can sit in the rollator seat when you need to take a break. Since the wheels and brake systems make rollators heavier than a walker, you need decent arm strength to handle and steer it. However, you shouldn’t have problems completing tight turns or tricky maneuvers.
Rollators increase your walking range and speed. But they are not weight-bearing mobility aids. If you need weight-bearing assistance while moving forward or backward, a motorized scooter is a better option. Also, if you have an assistant, you can use the Drive Medical Duet Transport Chair & Rollator Combo.
