What Are Wheeled Aids?
Wheeled walking aids are pieces of equipment designed to make movement easier for those with mobility issues. They typically include devices such as rollators, tri walkers, and seat walkers.
Each of these mobility walking aids offers the user support and stability when getting around, with wheels that make movement easier and smoother. The specifications of these devices vary, with tri walkers featuring three wheels and rollators boasting four.
There are also trolleys designed for easier shopping, known as sholleys. These are great for moving items around as well as yourself. They generally have six wheels, which makes for smooth, fluid movement.
What Are The Benefits Of Wheeled Aids?
A walking aid with wheels is a fantastic tool for those who find themselves unsteady on their feet. As well as those experiencing either temporary or permanent mobility issues.
Unlike traditional walkers and frames, devices like rollators and tri walkers have wheels which make movement smoother and require less effort from the user. They also boast adjustable brakes, with foldable models available that can be easily packed into a vehicle.
For outdoor activities, a rollator is one of the best walking aids with wheels. Their four wheels provide more points of contact with the floor, making them more stable than tri walkers with three wheels. Many rollators also have seats, which are padded for extra comfort. Some even have padded backrests, with these models being ideal for longer outings. Adjustable ergonomic handles mean you can personalise the rollator to suit your individual preferences and needs.
Tri walkers have many of the same features and benefits of rollators. The main difference between the models is that tri walkers have only three wheels, with two at the rear and one at the front. This makes these mobility walking aids easy to manoeuvre and gives them a tighter turning radius. Because of this, they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
