Do you use a walker with a seat (also known as a Rollator or 4-wheeled walker)? Walkers with a seat come with MANY advantages but they aren't the best choice for some people. There are even some hidden dangers you may not be aware of when using one.

Are you using the walker with the seat or Rollator the right way? If you use it incorrectly, you will be at risk of falling. Learn how to walk with and use a walker the right way in this video.

Some Keys to Remember:
1. Determine if you are stable enough to use a walker with the seat.
2. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each walker.
3. Make sure the walker handles are at the right height.
4. Look out ahead of you when you are walking.
5. When you need to sit, "park" the walker up against something.
6. Lock the walker before sitting.
7. Remember "Nose-over-toes" when getting up.
