Walker wheelchairs take the best aspects of wheelchairs/transport chairs and walkers/rollators, effectively offering users a 2-in-1 mobility solution that can be used with or without a caregiver’s assistance. When being utilized as a walker/rollator, these devices offer steady handgrips, convenient handbrakes, a storage pouch or basket, and a comfortable seat for breaks while walking. When used as a transport chair/wheelchair, the handgrips and handbrakes become handles for your loved one to steer and stop with, and the chair backrest and seat offer you a supportive place to rest while being pushed. Additionally, a large majority of walker wheelchairs include swing-away footrests for even more support while seated.
Some walker wheelchairs can also be described as “adaptive wheelchairs”. These devices are under the same umbrella as the aforementioned walker wheelchair combos, however, they differ in the sense that they are mostly used for independent ambulation. These devices can operate as a wheelchair or as a seated walker, allowing users to safely and self-sufficiently move from place to place.
No matter what style of walker wheelchair is best suited to your specific needs and preferences, you can be assured that RehabMart will help answer any questions you may have so that your purchase is made with total peace of mind.
