Yowzers. Avoid curbs! The wall idea is great. Having a friend available when navigating like this is best. I would choose to use a wheelchair rather than the rollator when helping my mom, esp. when I knew she would face many obstacles that would tire her out. Safety first. 😉

Found a few hacks I didn't know about. My mom used one, and we knew about many of these. Some we had not heard of or thought of, or been told about when Mom used it. Thanks so much for the safety hints.

I never thought about backing off a curb with a walker. I hope I can remember that when my time comes that I need one. 🙃

Thank you for the lessons! I've been using one for a month now, its been helping a lot. Sometimes I use the seat for carrying heavy things at his point even a dinner plate can hurt my back. Osteoporosis breaks are so painful!

Thank you both for the review. I have had chronic leg pain that started suddenly 5 months ago. I found out after seeing a sports med MD that my hip was fine, but my issue is scoliosis which caused me to fall more easily on ice, and uneven ground. I may be having surgery for the scoliosis and I will need a walker before then if I choose to walk outside in my neighborhood. Meanwhile, I am doing my leg exercises at home to stay in shape.

Thank you for your great video - especially the advice about curbs. My Nova Walker has a small (about 2”) tab by each wheel to aid me in moving up and down different levels. I avoid curbs. It also has a storage seat which gives me both freedom and security while I am out of the house since I can store my purse in it while I am walking or sitting. I do need to be with someone who can put it in and take it out of the vehicle. It allows me to do more around the house since I am only able to lift and carry light things which was challenging while using a cane. I do not recommend putting anything on or in it that weighs more than a few pounds - especially if you have to go up or down a step.

Great information. But, I disagree with going backwards off a curb. If a senior needs to do this, have a younger adult with you to navigate curbs.

Very good to know! I rarely use mine. Not much balance after a Thalamic stroke and use a cane 99% of the time. The thing that causes me to use a walker is being in a huge place with super shiny slick floors, like the airport where I would usually be toted around in a wheelchair. The walker gave me all my freedom back! But I took a huge tumble for a reason you didn't cover that I am trying to figure out how to navigate. Airline employees were grabbing at me as I exited the plant because they thought I looked unstable. I was fine until they grabbed me, fell face first over the walker. Tore a bicep, tore meniscus in my knee, ended up with stitches and a concussion from hitting the blacktop tarmac so hard just trying to get away from them. 7 weeks ago, still in PT to regain use of the arm and knee.

I use a Nova Star 8 rollator. It's bulky due to the weight and the 8 inch wheels, so I've always used those techniques to maintain my independence. I'm 30 and been using front wheel standard walkers and four-wheeled rollators since my 20s, and I see lots of seniors using them improperly. I find the standard walkers are the easiest to transport, store and lift when I feel weaker on bad days of chronic illnesses.

BRAD - PLEASE, PLEASE READ THIS AND RESPOND...because I have always DEEPLY enjoyed both your and precious Bob's exercising videos... I am 81 years "young," and I really need your VALUABLE HELP. I recently fell two times within three hours, where I was on the floor for at least two of those hours. Although I was able to get up once (after 45 minutes on the floor), I had to call the paramedics when I fell the 2nd time - feeling very guilty that I even had to call them. I was subsequently taken to the hospital where I had a CT Scan and other tests. The doctor said my heart was fine, and CT Scan was clear. I stayed for two nights because of my very low creatine count. MY QUESTION IS: could this have been due to muscle weakness because I was never dizzy. Just wondering other seniors are experiencing this as well??? From all of us, thank you, Bob and Brad.

Muscle weakness. Balance issues. Lack of attention. Could be different things.

Please don't have someone push you while you are sitting on the wheelchair! Someone pushed my mom backwards while she was seated. The walker somehow tipped over and the walker and my mom fell backwards onto the floor. She struck her head and had to be transported to the ER. Luckily, she didn't have serious injuries, but lesson learned. One could get a TBI! Please do not push someone sitting in the chair.
