Stability

A quality rollator should have a comfortable and wide seat that users can sit on when they wish to relax. It should also have soft ergonomic grips and brakes that are simple to operate.

In a recent research, researchers examined how task-performance strategy and device load affect the stability of rollator users. The study involved ten people who performed six tasks using an instrumented rollator. The researchers measured the combination centre of pressure and the base of support which is known as system Stability Margin (SM). They found that SM is reduced significantly when compared to straight line walking to other tasks. They also discovered that a user's leaning onto the device can increase the centre of pressure within the base of support and can increase or decrease stability. The authors conclude that the findings can be used to improve the training for the safe use of rolling devices. They suggest that more focus should be placed on activities other straight line walking and on specific methods to perform each task that may facilitate or hinder stability.

Capacity for weight-bearing

A rollator walker is capable of supporting up to 300lbs, or more, based on the model. Its sturdy frame and four wheels can help people maintain their mobility and balance, particularly for individuals with medical conditions or who are aging. As opposed to standard walkers which require lifting to move forward, a rollator can be manipulated using the user's weight and help reduce hand fatigue.

Brakes

A rollator is different from a traditional walker. Instead of having all four legs touching the ground, a rollator comes with wheels that are controlled by hand brakes that are located below or incorporated into the handlebars. This design allows you to navigate small spaces and make sharp turns left or right. However, the brakes can sometimes become loose or hard to use, which can be a safety risk for those with declining mobility and limited strength in their hands.

To be able to avoid these issues, many manufacturers provide the option to add brakes that can be locked for increased security and stability. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who have trouble getting the brakes to squeeze or applying pressure due to a weak grip or other health issues such as arthritis. While there are some differences in how the locking brakes are adjusted walkers follow similar steps to ensure an appropriate adjustment.

Before attempting to adjust the brakes of your lock, it is recommended to study any maintenance guidelines included with your mobility rollator aid for specific instructions. To begin, locate the adjuster screw for your brake or knob which is usually close to the handle grips. Tighten it by rotating clockwise. This is essential since if you do not tighten the adjuster properly it will be impossible to eliminate the slack in the brake cable. Then, tighten the lower cable adjuster using the same procedure. Once you've completed these adjustments check your brakes by gently pressing the levers. If they do not, it is likely that the locking mechanism is faulty.

Accessories

A number of accessories are available for walkers on rollators, including baskets and cup holders. Some accessories are designed to carry objects when walking, while others, like the Mobility Phone Grip clip onto the vertical bars on a walker, or wheelchair, and expands to hold the phone.
