A folding walker is a lightweight mobility aid for people who need balance and support while walking, designed to be easily folded for transport or storage. It features a frame with hand grips that a user holds, and often has height-adjustable legs with push-button mechanisms to fold and unfold the walker quickly, making it compact enough to fit in a car trunk. Unlike a rollator, a folding walker has no wheels and requires the user to lift and move it with each step.
Key features and characteristics:
Folding Mechanism:
The primary feature is its ability to fold up compactly, typically by pressing buttons or twisting a mechanism.
Lightweight:
Many folding walkers are made from aluminum to be lightweight, making them easy to lift and carry.
Height Adjustable:
They often have marked pegs or holes to allow the user to adjust the height for proper ergonomic positioning, with the goal of a slight bend in the arm while gripping the handles.
Stable:
With four legs on the ground, a folding walker provides excellent stability and continuous balance support for the user.
No Wheels:
A standard folding walker is a "pickup walker" and has no wheels, meaning the user must lift and move it with each step.
Detachable Parts:
Some models offer detachable sides, allowing for even more compact storage.
How it's used:
1. Adjusting Height:
Adjust the height so there's a slight bend in your arm when standing and gripping the hand grips.
2. Walking:
Grip the hand grips and move the walker forward, stepping into it to support your weight.
3. Folding:
To fold it, press the release buttons on the sides or other folding mechanism, then fold the frame to make it compact for storage or travel.
Benefits:
Portability: Folds easily for transport in a car or for storage.
Stability: Provides continuous and stable support with all four legs on the ground.
Ease of Use: Simple to operate and can be assembled quickly without tools.
