In order to use a rollator comfortably, you must first adjust the mobility aid correctly. In this article, you will learn how to do this and what to look out for.
Rollator – how to adjust the mobility aid
A rollator can provide more mobility if you have a disability or limited mobility.
- It is important that the rollator is properly adjusted. Otherwise, use can lead to back pain. The pelvis is also affected in the long run.
- If you use a rollator as a mobility aid, you should stand straight in front of it. If you have to bend your back, the height is not right.
- To adjust the height, open the adjustment levers. Usually these are located on the side tubes.
- To determine the correct height, stand upright with your back straight in front of the rollator. Let your arms hang down and push your elbows through slightly.
- The rollator is at the right height when the handles are at the same height as your wrists. Once you have found this setting, fix the height by locking the adjustment levers again.
