Advice & Tips
It's so much easier to get around. Less tiring than a walker and instead of going small distances I can now take a "walk" outside for as far as I wish.

Atrophy of muscles

Advice & Tips
I did find using the chair to be a great help but it also really accelerated my muscle weakness and atrophy. I now use a rollator in the house. I bought the chair used but the rollator would have been a better deal.
