Hello, welcome to Xiamen SENYANG Medical. Recently, we ’ve had so many users ask whether the upright walker is safe or not. So today we’re going to talk about the safety of upright walkers in details.
Who uses the upright walker? People who cannot independently walk or stand-alone. It includes patients who are unable to walk by themselves and the elderly who over 65 years old. When you reach 65, your muscles tighten and your joints stiffen. Even your wrists, ankles, knees and other joints can lose their elasticity over time. Arthritis or joint pain are becoming regular. You start to need support when walking or standing. We're afraid we won't be able to depend on others for long, although we don't want to. That's why you should consider a variety of walking mobility devices.
Upright walkers seem to be our choice for a better life. But are upright rollator safe? Obviously, the answer is yes.
First, its frame. The walker's frame surrounds you on all sides. If you stumble accidentally on the road, you have a support to protect you and not let you fall down on the road. We know that the road is not always smooth. You may encounter uphill or downhill somewhere. Upright walkers have handlebars and brakes, and you can use the handbrake to slow down the walker when you encounter a downhill road. It's very simple. It protects you from rushing downhill. Rubber wheels glide smoothly over bumps and rough surfaces. So whether it's going uphill or downhill, you can handle it with ease.
Second, the height is adjustable. You can adjust the handlebars to a comfortable walking height to see obstacles ahead and walk in an upright posture. Your spinal cord will stay straight. Therefore, you will not suffer from back pain or any other joint pain. With a walking aid, you may use less oxygen and allow you to move more easily. But be aware that you need to choose the correct handle height for your upright walker and make sure your forearms are fully supported while walking.
Anyways, the upright walker is safe, reliable and you can live a normal life independently. Thanks for reading. SENYANG Medical wish you health, safety and may your favorite football star win the game.
