Rollatorid

Rollatorid, commonly called rollators, are four-wheeled walking aids that provide support for people with limited balance or leg strength. They feature a lightweight frame, usually aluminum, four wheels, adjustable handlebars with hand brakes, a built-in seat, and a storage basket or bag. Many models fold for easy transport.

Most rollatorid use standard or larger wheels (roughly 20–25 cm) to balance stability with maneuverability. Brakes are operated by hand levers; some models use loop brakes that can be engaged while walking or seated. Height adjustment ensures the user can stand upright with elbows slightly bent. Options may include backrests, swiveling seats, reflectors, lights, and accessories like trays or cup holders. Weight capacities typically range from about 100 to 150 kg, with heavier-duty models available.

Usage and safety: Rollatorid are designed for use on level indoor surfaces and smooth outdoor paths. They are not generally intended for climbing stairs. Users should be able to push the device, apply brakes to park it when seated, and keep feet clear of the wheels. Proper fit, including handle height roughly at elbow level, is important to reduce the risk of strain or loss of balance. Regular checks of brakes, tires, and frame are recommended.

Maintenance and selection: When choosing a rollatorid, consider terrain, portability, weight capacity, braking system, seating needs, and storage. A professional can help with fitting to ensure comfort and safety.
