How to properly use a Rollator?

- Adjust the height: Make sure the rollator is adjusted to the correct height, so you can comfortably walk with it.
- Walk behind it: Push the rollator in front of you, walking behind it and holding onto the handgrips.
- Take small steps: When using the rollator, take small steps and use your arms to push the rollator forward, instead of relying solely on your legs.
- Use brakes: Make sure to use the brakes when stopping or slowing down, especially when going downhill.
- Avoid obstacles: Avoid obstacles such as curbs, loose carpet or wet surfaces, which can be slippery and dangerous.
- Store items in basket or pouch: Use the basket or pouch on the rollator to carry items, so you don’t have to hold them in your hands.
- Keep the rollator clean: Regularly clean the rollator to ensure it is functioning properly and to maintain good hygiene.
- Seek help if needed: If you have difficulty using the rollator, ask for help from a family member or caregiver, or consult a healthcare professional.
