Is it best to use a walker with wheels or without wheels?
Walkers with wheels are best for people who have trouble lifting a walker as they walk, because they are weaker or have poor balance. The danger of a walker with wheels – it can roll forward when a person leans forward.
When a person gets up from a chair should they hold on to the walker?
No, have the person use the arms of a chair, not the walker. This gives them better leverage to stand up. The walker can easily tip over.
