Rollator Vs. Wheelchair
There are several reasons why someone might choose a rollator over a wheelchair:
-
Independence: Rollators allow the user to walk and maintain some degree of independence, while wheelchairs require someone else to push them.
-
Portability: Rollators are generally lightweight and can be easily folded for transportation, while wheelchairs can be bulky and difficult to transport.
-
Versatility: Rollators have four wheels and brakes, allowing the user to move around more easily and safely than with a cane or walker. They can also be used outdoors on uneven terrain.
-
Comfort: Rollators often have a seat and backrest for resting, making them more comfortable for extended use than a wheelchair.
-
Cost: Rollators are generally less expensive than wheelchairs, and some insurance plans may cover their cost.
It is important to note that a rollator may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with more severe mobility issues who need a wheelchair for greater support and stability.
