In a recent research, researchers examined how task-performance strategy and device loading affect stability of rollator users. Ten participants completed six tasks using an instrumented rolling cane. The team measured the total centre of pressure and base of support, which is referred to as the system Stability Margin (SM). They discovered that SM decreases significantly from straight line walking to other activities. They also discovered that leaning on the device could increase the force centre in the support for the base and increase or decrease stability. The authors conclude that the results can be utilized to improve rollator training. They suggest that more focus should be put on activities other straight line walking and on specific strategies for performing each activity which can aid or hinder stability.

Capacity for weight-bearing

A rollator walker can be capable of supporting up to 300 pounds or more depending on the model.

The brakes may become difficult to operate or loose, which can cause a safety risk to people with weaker muscles and declining mobility.

To be able to avoid these issues, many manufacturers allow you to add brakes that can be locked for added stability and safety. This feature is especially useful for people who have difficulty getting the brakes to squeeze or applying pressure due to a weak grip or other health conditions like arthritis. Although there are some variations in the way that locking brakes are adjusted, most walkers follow similar steps to ensure a proper adjustment.

Before attempting to adjust the brakes on your lock it is advised to read the maintenance instructions included with your mobility aid for specific directions. To begin with, locate the knob for adjustment or screw that is usually located close to the grips of the handle and tighten it by rotating it clockwise. This is essential because if you don't tighten the adjuster properly, it won't be possible to get rid of the slack inside the brake cable. Then tighten the lower cable adjuster with the same method. After you have completed these adjustments test the brakes by pressing them gently and see whether they respond in a timely manner. If they don't it means that the locking mechanism could be faulty.

Accessories

There are many accessories for the rollator walker, such as baskets and cup holders. Some are useful to carry items while walking. Others such as the Mobility Phone Grip, clip onto the bars that are vertically attached to the walker or wheelchair and expand to hold the smartphone.

Another thing to think about when choosing a walker rollator is the kind of brakes it comes with. Push down brakes stop forward motion by applying downward pressure to the frame. Loop brakes are similar to push down, however they require the use of both hands and a bit more physical strength to apply. Both kinds of brakes are a crucial safety feature, and it's crucial to choose the best option for your needs.
