How to Select a Foldable Rollator

Like a walker, a foldable rollator can provide stable support to mobility impaired individuals. It can also help them maintain their independence by allowing them to continue their regular activities.

To fold a rolling walker, locate the release mechanisms. These are usually buttons or levers. Simply press the sides of the frame in tandem while holding the release mechanisms until the rollator has been fully folded.

Dimensions of Seat to Floor

A foldable rollator comes with seats that users can sit on to relax, and many models also have a basket or other storage area for transporting personal belongings. When selecting a model it is crucial to consider the user's seat-to-floor height to ensure that they can sit comfortably without their feet dangling or hanging off the edge of the frame. This measurement is based on the floor to the crease at the back of the leg, while standing in regular shoes. Some models allow the user to adjust the height of their seat to find the right size.

In addition to the measurement of seat-to-floor it is also crucial to choose an effective mobility aid that can accommodate the user's weight and movement patterns. If the device is used mostly indoors, for instance it should be constructed of durable, rust-resistant materials. Outdoor models should be durable enough to withstand harsh conditions such as gravel and dirt.

The frame size of a rollator that folds can also determine its suitability for certain uses. For instance, some models are designed to fit through doorways and other narrow passageways in which larger mobility aids usually aren't able to fit. Take into consideration the weight capacity of the handlebars and their height as well as depth, if they have seats that are made of plastic or padded and the handle's height.

Typically, heavy-duty models can be capable of supporting up to 400 pounds while standard rollators typically accommodate up to 300 lbs.
