There are different types of walkers that you can get. And you should be aware of what they are before your next purchase. These are some of the most common.
Folding Walkers
These are just what the name states. These types of walkers can be folded easily to be taken with you. Most of the time to fold a walker it’s a push-button system. Typically two-buttons. The waker will collapse and then fold.
Hemi Walkers
These types of walkers are uses for people that have no or very little dexterity in one arm or hand. A Hemi walker allows for the person to lean on just one side of the walker for support.
These are smaller and lighter because they are about half the size of a walker.
Wakers that height-Adjust
These walkers have pins that can be pressed to easily adjust the seat height. These walkers can be adjusted much more than a typical walker. They can be used by a wide range of weights.
Rise-Assistance Walkers
These walkers are a little unique and have a front handle that s slopes low on the side the person is using the walker.
These walkers are great for sit to stand as the lower portion of the handle can be used as leverage to stand up.
