Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad, it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) & I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks, Bob.

I have a walker like this. I use it to walk my dog. I use it anytime a lot of walking is involved. It’s very nice.

[faerieivy]

I just bought the same walker. Love it. I feel so free with it. The wheel base is a great stabilizer for me.

[BrassyBrunette]

As a daughter of elderly parents and a former nursing home nurse...this walker looks like a wonderful piece of equipment.

[JS-esep]

I have this walker. It's wonderful. I don't have to hunch over, and my wrists don't get sore.

The little holder IS for a cane. However, I find it doesn't "click in" well, and it's come off a few times.

This type of walker has been a game changer for my mother. She went from being able to walk about 15 steps (back pain would then start) with a traditional walker to being able to walk 1/8 mile before taking a break. This happened immediately. She uses it for support/relieve pain as opposed to balance. She also appreciates that it takes pressure off her wrists.

At minute 3:45 Brad sits BUT he does it wrong. If you turn your body around, if you're weak, wobbly or tired that's a sure fire way to lose your balance & fall.

I discovered that with my Rollator & luckily caught myself. My Dad wasn't so lucky. The fall broke his back. People sit when they need to rest or when standing still becomes too painful. They're feeling weak or hurt so more vulnerable to falling. Turning around on wobbly legs is risky.

The correct way to sit is to remain stationary & move the walker around you. As you swing it so you can sit, put the brakes on before you sit. To resume walking, stand & roll the walker around you to in front of you.

Practice it Bob & Brad. You quickly get used to spinning around you & can actually do it faster than turning your body rather than the walker. My doctor told me a lot of people fall while trying to sit down. He told me how to do it right (after my Dad fell).

My problem with my Rollator, and I think it'd be a problem with this taller one too is as the pain of walking increases I put more & more weight on my arms & hands. I have a weak arm from a long ago injury so the bulk of weight affects the good arm/ shoulder. And then my "good" shoulder hurts - like bursitis or muscle cramps. It takes days to recover. Is there anything I can do? Thanks.

[patriciaweston]

I live in senior housing. Even with walkers like this, the elderly won’t stand up straight, even though they can. This throws off the center of gravity and causes the walker to turn over since their upper body weight is being supported by the arm rests. I have seen this time and again.

[rickiejacobs]

I have a heavy duty model of that brand. Holds up to 450 lbs or 500 that was on the box. 200 dollars from Amazon. It has more hard sided basket with a padded seat cushion. I figured out to stand more upright on these you have to adjust the hand grips about as out as you can get. Then your forced to stand closer to the walker.

[johnb]

Can you put a lot of weight on those armrests to unload the lumbar spine ? Like say the large shopping carts at Costco and Sams club etc. they are excellent to walk with . Thanks !

Have bad knees and a bad back. My knees got worse over the years. When I found myself moving around my home by holding onto walls and furniture I researched canes and ordered a pair of quad canes with offset handles. They are a help, but not as much as I'd like. Also, my knees continued to get worse. After several years of using the canes, I researched walkers, and ordered a rolling walker. It's important to get one in the right size, which I did. I've had it several years now, and I love it. If I were to get a new one, I would prefer a forearm rolling walker, but it will probably be years before they make a model in my size (short & fat) in the American fold style (front to back). The Euro style (side folding) is being pushed a lot, but I hate the seats on them. The American folding style rolling walkers have better seats. Fortunately, there's nothing wrong with my current rolling walker, so I can wait a while before I have to buy a new one. I also still use my canes in narrower areas.

Whether you use a regular rolling walker or a forearm rolling walker, they are great! Mine helps me move around better than I can with my canes, and with less pain. My legs don't dangle when I sit on the seat because it's the right floor to seat height for me. The seat is wide enough for me to walk between the handles, so I don't have to bend over at an angle that would strain my knees, back, and shoulders. That also helps me maintain proper control of my rolling walker. Definitely, getting the right size is absolutely important.

I do recommend rolling walkers for people with mobility or other health issues.🤗

The YouTube volume needs to louder. It's very low compared to other YouTube channels.

Thank you very much for the review. It's a BIG improvement.

OasisSpace also has solid wheel and bariatric versions up to 450 lb. The pneumatic are sold as "all terrain." (Mine' walker is going to be delivered next week. I used a safety roller with platforms a few years back for hyperekplexia and ataxia. I miss it... Can't wait for my new toy!) Adjusting the brake cables is exactly the same process as for a bike. All you need is a little know-how and a pair of pliers.

[elizarock]

Literally had my first walk to the shops with one of these today, no pneumatic tyres so it did rattle my cage!
Love it so far, I did laugh about the cup holder as we were puzzled too by it, doesn’t look like a cane holder and it’s too small for a cup of tea 😂

[inkygreyphotographysd]

Hi B&B

Thank you for your informative posts. To answer the
cup holder question. It is for a walking stick.

[TheDeerInn]

It would be nice if the front wheels would lock in a forward position when folded up, otherwise a person that has trouble walking may have trouble guiding it in their vehicle. We just bought one similar to this one last week, the one we have has shock absorbers on each side, but almost identical. Thanks Guys, you are helping so many people!!

[alisonbarksdale]

This would be great as I’m learning to walk again after spinal surgery.

[ruthmelander]

I have truly wanted to try one of these walkers. I have Ankylosing spondylitis and a severe stoop. Have wondered if gradual raising the arm rests might help correct some of that.

[jacquelinemorris]

It looks like an umbrella holder.
And BTW: I really like the opening caricatures of you guys.
Also, I appreciate your videos a lot!!
