Description

A walker is a sturdy, supportive mobility device used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation to assist people who have difficulty walking or balancing. It is typically made of lightweight metal with four legs and comfortable hand grips.

There are different types of walkers, including standard walkers (without wheels) for maximum stability, two-wheeled walkers for smoother forward movement, and rollators (with four wheels and brakes) for enhanced mobility and convenience.

Using a walker helps improve confidence, balance, and walking endurance while reducing the risk of falls. Physiotherapists guide patients on the correct posture, stride length, and weight distribution while using the walker.
