Types of Rollator Walkers

A Rollator Walker or walking frame is increasingly in demand as an aid in everyday life and is now a natural part of daily life for many seniors. The mobile walking aids are constantly evolving, and today there are many different models made from various materials with individual features. A Rollator Walker for seniors is not only a walking aid but also a seat, a shopping aid, and often a status symbol. With such a mobility aid, you can safely get through everyday life and reduce the risk of falling to a minimum. You can expand your range of action and make everyday life easier. You always have a comfortable seat at hand and, with many models, an additional backrest.

Carbon Rollator Walker

Carbon Rollator Walkers form a truly unique class among walking aids. The most noticeable feature of these devices is the significantly lower weight compared to conventional Rollator Walkers.

Lightweight Rollator Walker

These Rollator Walkers are developed from the start with regard to lightness. Lightweight Rollator Walkers lose up to 50% of the weight compared to their standard counterparts.

Rollator Walkers with wheelchair function are especially suitable for people who need support for shorter distances but prefer to cover longer distances while sitting.

Indoor Rollator Walker

An indoor Rollator Walker is specially designed for use indoors, e.g., in an apartment. Therefore, it is sometimes also referred to as an apartment Rollator Walker or house Rollator Walker.

Outdoor Rollator Walker

All-terrain or outdoor Rollator Walkers are a particularly robust variant of Rollator Walkers. Often equipped with soft or air tires, they are especially suitable for use in rough terrain.

Shopping Rollator Walker

Shopping Rollator Walkers combine Rollator Walker and shopping trolley, with bags that can carry 20 kg and have 25L volume. They have a seat and provide safety while walking.

You can buy a high-quality Rollator Walker at attractive prices here in the Gorilla Gesund online shop. You can choose between indoor Rollator Walkers for the apartment and outdoor Rollator Walkers for activities outside from well-known manufacturers such as Saljol and Rollz. Robust models made of steel are also available as well as the popular lightweight Rollator Walkers made of carbon or aluminum.

Advantages for everyday life with walking frames

When mobility is limited in old age or due to physical complaints, a Rollator Walker can make an important contribution to maintaining an independent daily life. With the mobility aids also known as walking frames, previously insurmountable distances can be comfortably managed again. The owner benefits from a significant increase in quality of life and personal autonomy.

What accessories are available?

The four-wheeled walking aids are equipped with bags or baskets. This allows you to transport your everyday items from one room to another within your own home or to do shopping. Some models have a tray, so you can comfortably carry your meals to the dining table.

Rollator Walker with reflectors and bell are especially well suited for safe participation in road traffic. Brakes that you can reach directly with your hands without changing grip provide additional safety.

• Cane holder
• Umbrella holder
• Back straps
• High load capacity
• Internal brake cables
• Wheelchair function
• Small transport dimensions
• Replaceable wheels
• Height-adjustable seats

How much does a Rollator Walker weigh?

The weight of a Rollator Walker depends significantly on the material from which the frame is made. Models with steel frames weigh about 10 kg to 15 kg. Walkers with a frame made of carbon or aluminum are significantly lighter. They weigh only 4.5 kg to 10 kg.

These lightweight Rollator Walkers are characterized by particularly good maneuverability and enable comfortable use, which many seniors appreciate. You can buy very light models cheaply from us Gorilla Gesund for example with the following models.

• Saljol Carbon (5.6 kg)
• Saljol Allround Rollaror (6.4 kg)

Does the walking aid fit my body height?

Numerous models in different sizes are offered. There are 2 specifications you should consider when choosing the right model. First, the height of the handles is important. To do this, measure the distance between the floor and the user's wrist when standing upright. The handles of the selected model should be adjustable to this value. The second criterion is the height of the seat. The seat height should match the user's body height, because a seat height that is too high makes sitting uncomfortable, while a seat height that is too low unnecessarily makes getting up from the Rollator Walker difficult. For a body height of up to about 165 cm, we recommend a seat height between 50 and 54 cm. For taller people, the seat height can certainly be 58 to 62 cm.

Which size of Rollator Walker should suit me?

The height of the handles can be adjusted. The correct height of the handles is about the height of your wrist when you stand up and let your arms hang loosely.

The difference between the various Rollator Walker sizes usually lies in the height of the seat surface. It is important to check the correct seat height of the Rollator Walker, as the seat height cannot be adjusted. So what is the right seat height for me?

A Rollator Walker is not a chair, but a walking aid. You don't sit long and comfortably on a Rollator Walker like on an armchair. The seat height of the Rollator Walker should be higher than that of a chair. The angle of your knee pits should be about 120 degrees when you sit on the Rollator Walker. This way, you can get up easily and safely. If you sit too low on the Rollator Walker, it is difficult to get up again.

Please do not forget to lock the parking brakes when sitting on the Rollator Walker.

Rollator Walker and wheelchair in one

Under this walking aid category in the Gorilla Gesund online shop, you will find practical models with wheelchair function. Specifically, this means that you can transform such a model into a wheelchair with a few simple steps and just as quickly convert it back into a Rollator Walker.

Rollator Walkers with wheelchair function are ideal for people who need support when walking short distances but prefer to cover longer distances while sitting. For example, you can order a very good model with the Rollz Motion model from Topro in our range.

How can you operate a Rollator Walker correctly?

You may be wondering what you should consider when using a Rollator Walker. There are quite a few tips for this. To avoid accidents caused by inexperienced and incorrect handling, appropriate training is an important measure for fall prevention.

Is the Rollator Walker light and narrow enough?

Before deciding on a Rollator Walker, first consider whether the desired model is suitable for the planned place of use. The overall width plays an important role, especially for mobile walking aids used indoors. The decisive measure is always the clear width of the narrowest door in the apartment. But the total length of the model also matters. The stability of each model increases the greater the distance between the front and rear wheels. However, you will also need correspondingly more space to turn. The size and width of the Rollator Walker are important not only indoors. Especially for transport in a car and when using public transport such as buses and trains, a Rollator Walker that can be folded compactly is a decisive advantage. So-called longitudinal folders are particularly suitable for this. In these models, the seat is flexible and the folding mechanism is designed so that the overall width in the folded state can be reduced to a very small size. In addition, some Rollator Walkers offer the possibility to lower the handles before use with little effort and to bring them back to the original height with a few simple steps.

What is the correct posture when walking?

Walk in the Rollator Walker, but not behind it! A minimal distance between your body and the walker serves safety and prevents back pain.

How do I set the correct height of the handles?

Let your arms hang loosely down. The handles should be set approximately at the height of your wrists. That is the correct height for the handles. This way, you can walk comfortably.

How do I sit properly on a Rollator Walker?

First, set the brake so that the Rollator Walker does not slip away. Turn between the handles so that your back faces the seat. Support yourself with your hands on the handles, lean your upper body forward, and sit down slowly. If your Rollator Walker has a back strap, you will not only sit more comfortably but also prevent tipping backward.

What is the correct seat height?

A Rollator Walker is not a chair. You do not sit on your Rollator Walker for extended periods. The seat height of the Rollator Walker should be higher than that of a chair. The angle of your knee pits should be about 100 - 120 degrees when sitting on the seat. This way, you can stand up easily and safely.

How do I brake while walking?

To prevent the Rollator Walker from rolling away on a slope, you can slow down by pulling and holding the brake lever.

How can I lock the brake?

To be able to sit down, you must first lock the brake. To do this, press the brake lever down with the palm of your hand until it clicks into place.

How do I overcome curbs and door thresholds?

Approach smaller obstacles at an angle and push the front wheels over the edge one after the other. If your Rollator Walker has a tipping aid, small step levers at the height of the rear wheels, use them. If the curb is still too high, it is best to find a spot where the sidewalk edge is lowered.

How do I fold and unfold a Rollator Walker?

Premium models can be folded lengthwise. To do this, simply pull up a release tab on the seat, squeeze the carrying handles together, and attach the safety bar to it. Practical tests have shown that most seniors are generally not able to fold and store the so-called cross-folders independently.

What should be considered when buying a Rollator Walker?

The variety of mobile walking aids with different features and applications has increased. Choosing the right Rollator Walker model is not always easy. Before deciding on a specific Rollator Walker, considerations about the user and the intended place of use should be the priority. The height of the mobile support should be optimally adjusted to the user's handle height, which is achieved when the push handles are at wrist height. In addition, the load capacity of the Rollator Walker must correspond to the user's body weight.

Regarding the intended use, there are basically three options: The Rollator Walker is used exclusively indoors, only outdoors, or both combined. Depending on the area of use, the equipment requirements vary. An indoor Rollator Walker for the home, for example, does not need a seat and has small wheels but should have a narrow total width. An outdoor Rollator Walker, on the other hand, needs a seat for longer distances outdoors, larger front wheels, or soft wheels for overcoming obstacles and uneven ground.

When using a Rollator Walker, some important points must be observed so that it does not become a hazard. In addition to the correct adjustment of the handle height, a functioning brake is crucial. The brakes are operated via Bowden cables and should be checked before each trip. When used as a seat, both brakes must be locked to prevent rolling away. A tipping aid or tipping the Rollator Walker itself makes it easier to overcome obstacles.

Before purchasing, it should be checked whether the Rollator Walker is light and narrow enough for the intended place of use. The total width should fit the narrowest door, and the foldability of the Rollator Walker is especially important for transport in a car or public transport. Lightweight Rollator Walkers with flexible seats and foldable handles offer advantages here.
