Walking Aids 12
Sensitivity to Patient Issues is Key to Walking Aid Transition For many older adults, the idea of using a walking aid is like surrendering to old age. With that line of thinking, it’s easy to understand why some people who could benefit from a walking aid may be hesitant to use one. The reasons people need walking aids cover a wide range of conditions, from neurological and balance impairments to chronic conditions such as arthritis.
Measuring and Sizing Sizing Guide for Rollators, Walkers, Crutches and Canes Rollators Rollators provide users with both a mobility aid and a seat to rest on when tired. These two functions require two measurements be taken to accurately size a rollator. Some rollators only allow for adjustments on the handles, while other rollators adjust at both the handles and on the legs for a more custom fit. 1. Measure from the ground to the crease in the back of the knee. (See Dimension A, page 15) 2.
Walking Aids Axillary Pad Hand grip Adjustment Axillary Crutches Crutches are the traditional mobility aid for when one leg is almost entirely non-weight-bearing. Aluminum or wooden axillary (under the arm) models can be adjusted easily to both key measures: your overall height and hand height. 1. Select a pair of crutches that is appropriate to the weight of the patient. 2. When sizing for axillary crutches, first measure from the ground to near the bottom of the axilla, or armpit.
