A wheeled walker, also called a rolling walker, is used by elderly or disabled people to provide support when walking. A wheeled walker is easier for some people to use as opposed to a traditional walker with rubberized stops on the legs since a wheeled walker is able to roll over flat surfaces, while a traditional walker needs to be lifted with each step. Wheeled walkers are available with two, three or four wheels. Two-wheeled walkers generally have sliders or rubberized stops on the back legs.
Instructions
1. Place both feet between the legs of the wheeled walker.
2. Grasp the hand grips on either side of the top of the walker.
3. Push the walker forward to a comfortable length. Your toes should be even with the back legs of the walker.
4. Step forward toward the inside of the wheeled walker frame with your weaker leg.
5. Step forward with your stronger leg while supporting yourself with the hand grips. Both feet should be side-by-side between the legs of the wheeled walker.
