Canes and Walkers (walkers, rollators)

Definition: It is a support designed with the purpose of assisting walking when one of the lower extremities requires additional support during movement, commonly when the individual suffers from some type of inability to walk with one of these.

Correct use:

1. Use the cane on the opposite side of your weak or injured leg.

2. Stand up imagining a triangular position. Place the “good” foot behind the body and the weaker foot in front, on the opposite side of the stick, forming the three points of the imaginary triangle.

3. It is preferable to take short steps, always depending on the general state and balance.

4. For safety, the tip must rest flat on the ground. (Check periodically the state of conservation of the rubber end and replace it with a new one as soon as signs of wear are observed.)

 5. Incorrect adjustment of the cane can cause pain in the lower back, as well as poor posture or instability.

 6. The correct adjustment of the cane is done while standing and with the usual footwear. It should be adjusted so that the grip is at the height of the wrist of a resting arm.

Definition: It is an orthopedic device for people with difficulties to hold and maintain balance while walking. It is used to assist walking when one or both of the lower extremities require additional support during movement, usually when the person suffers from some type of inability to stand or move any of said lower extremities. Walkers are generally used as a solution to facilitate the individual's walking when the other systems (canes and crutches) are insufficient to guarantee the user's balance and safety (avoid falls).

This category of walker is recommended for short journeys indoors. We must remember that  when only the front wheels exist, turns and movements are more costly. We have to take into account, since it is for home use, the measurements of the different doors to have comfortable and easy access.
