ROLLATORS VS. WALKERS
• About one-third of the people aged 65 years and older fall once a year, and half of those aged 80 years and older fall every year.
• Walkers can partially support a person’s weight while he is walking or standing. Those with poor balance, weakness while standing, or who need firm immobile support to help them walk should not use a rollator. They should use a walker instead.
