Walking Aids

Walking aids range from the traditional wooden walking stick to the tubular metal "Zimmer". Recently the telescopic walking pole, originally designed for mountain trekking, has become popular for general leisure walking.

Lightweight walking frames can be used indoors or out, with adjustable legs to suit the user's height.

Trolley walkers are a convenient way of combining walking support with a means of transporting items from room to room.

Three and four-wheel rollators are wheeled, compact and foldable devices that allow users to adjust the height and have brakes to control the speed of movement.

They have a sturdy frame which gives stable support whilst walking; and most have a seat to rest on and a basket for shopping.
