Advice & Tips
height of walker can be raised, can lead to shoulder rolling & neck pain.(remember when Mom told you to stand up straight?!) With the walker "others" really see you when you are out, & many will be quick to offer help. Even though "we" used to "do it all", never turn down help. It lends great stability to walking, & lets you go just a little farther. A walker is called a Rollater & many kinds are made. 1st one,can apply for Medicare coverage,so research before buying. Some stores will submit paperwork to Medicare & let you take item.
