The 3 Wheel Rollator Has Arrived

By Jennie Sandoval


There are many people out there who have a loved one who is getting to the point where walking around has become a chore. Sometimes it is not age that causes such a disability but rather they have a hard time breathing which limits their mobility. In such cases a 3 wheel rollator might be a better choice than a walker or a wheel chair.

People who are using oxygen all day and night generally cannot walk all that far. In a case such as this something to assist them while they walk around would be helpful and a great gift choice. They do not look like the standard walker so it might not be something that they do not want to use because it will not make them feel old.

This is why these are great for getting around. While a walker and a rollator might require two hands to operate while you are in motion, a walker does not usually give you any help with carrying anything you might have with you. If you go to the store for a quick couple of things you would be out of luck if all you had with you was a walker.

The standard walker is not that easy to move around either. Typically people will put tennis balls on the feet to help them slide better of smooth floors. However the 3 wheel rollator has wheels which make it so much easier to get around with. Some people might be a little scared about using one because of the wheels but rest assured they are safe and very easy to control.

In addition to the added benefit of space to carry things, the wheeled design helps to make it much more mobile because it is not hampered by feet that do not move and get stuck on everything. The wheels give the user the ability to slide it no matter what surface it is being used on. If moving too fast is a concern there is no need to worry, they come with a handbrake to help slow down or stop.

In addition to just gaining mobility, these are really adaptable to any situation. Various wheel sizes are available as are various brake types. All the brakes are also very customizable for people who might not have the proper hand strength for standard brakes. They can also be added to both handles to give people even more control.

These are also usually covered by insurance and medicare. Because people can generally show a need for such devices they are covered. If not, they are sold by both regular drug stores and medical supply stores alike. These are great for people who use oxygen too because the basket doubles as a place to hold the tank. This is a great advantage over wheel chairs because they generally do not have such a space.

The 3 wheel rollator is a great device that is very helpful to both senior citizens and people who are mobility challenged. No matter who needs the device it is both easy to get and easy to get covered. The medical supply service will usually deliver them and set them up for you or your loved one.
