Did you know that much like your car you need to provide maintenance to your Walker or Rollator?
Have a Physical Therapist assess that the walker is appropriately set for the person’s weight and height.
Wipe down handles on regular basis with Clorox wipes or disinfectant wipes.
Secure any brake lines to side rails with zip ties to keep the lines from catching on corners or nearby items while in use.
Be sure any added bags or baskets are out of line of vision.
