The topic of using  a walker (typically a 2 wheeled walker) or a rollator ( typically a 4 wheeled device) can offer improved stability and independence for those who need it.

When using any new device you are not familiar with, it is always good to learn the basics.

some individuals have been using these devices for awhile and may have never been taught how to use them or how to measure for the right size.

This section offers videos on how to measure, how to set up and use each device. In addition, there is a video to help you decide which type of walker or rollator would best fit your individual needs.

Ideally it would be better to make these decisions with the guidance of a physical therapist who specializes or is knowledgeable in Parkinson’s.
