Thank you very much for having me today. Today we will talk about the Saljol indoor rollator. Could you briefly tell us what your current situation looks like?
Yes. So it is. I have had MS for about 25 years. The first few years it was relapsing. For about 10 years now, it has been in the second phase of the disease, the secondary progressive phase. And I am moving worse and worse. I am very clumsy. I can no longer walk very far. I have had to give up all sports gradually. It is such that I am also limited in daily life. For example, when I cook or empty the dishwasher, or generally move around the apartment. And the walker helps me with that. Not as a classic walker, but more as a seat that is suddenly available. When I am exhausted, when I can no longer stand, which happens very quickly, I can simply lean on it and sit down. And that is the great added value for me. So, as I said, less as a classic walker, but more as a mobile seat cushion. Or also for moving around the apartment by tilting.
"Now one could say, if you want to sit, you could also take a normal chair. What is better about the indoor rollator?"
"I had been thinking for a long time about getting a three-legged stool. But what is significantly better about the living room walker is the mobility. I can push it exactly where I am, where I work. And that might be possible with a normal chair too, but it's much, much, much more cumbersome. When I'm in the kitchen, I use it to move along the kitchen counter."
"So you just push yourself with your feet, right?"
Feet and hands. This great mobility helps me and benefits me. You have the soft seat cushion and the back roll for the living room walker.
"You have the role in the back because it is softer, or why exactly?"
"I can lean on that very well. I didn't know that such a thing exists. I just discovered it. And it simply makes it much more comfortable and easier to use in everyday life."
Do you use the indoor rollator in other rooms as well or mainly in the kitchen?
"Actually mainly there. But with MS, you never really know in which direction the disease will develop. In that respect, I'm glad that it can also be used as a classic walker. I don't have a handrail in the apartment to hold onto. But with the living room walker, I have a mobile handrail."
What does the indoor rollator mean in your words?
In short, he is simply a real relief. It is a mobile, very mobile, versatile seat. And it makes my life easier. Because you can brake and secure it at any time, you can also use it as a mobile handrail. When I move around the apartment and need to hold on for a moment because I lose my balance or am out of breath, whatever.
"Let's briefly talk about the optics. Do you like the design or do you have a suggestion for what could be done differently?"
It is discreet. It is inconspicuous. Not flashy. And it is inconspicuous, visually inconspicuous. I like it very much.
Thank you very much, dear Claudius, for allowing me to be with you. Thank you for the great statements.
