Choosing the right mobility aid
Walking stick, frame, rollator, wheelchair or scooter? A simple guide to picking the right mobility aid for your needs.
Choosing the right mobility aid
The right mobility aid depends on your strength, balance, endurance and the environments you use it in.
A quick decision tree
- Need light balance support? A walking stick or quad stick.
- Need more stability indoors? A walking frame.
- Walking longer distances outdoors? A rollator with a seat.
- Limited walking endurance? A manual or powered wheelchair.
- Long community distances? A mobility scooter.
