3 Wheel Rollator A Great Gift

By Jennie Sandoval


There are many people out there who have a loved one who is getting to the point where walking around has become a chore. Sometimes it is not age that causes such a disability but rather they have a hard time breathing which limits their mobility. In such cases a 3 wheel rollator might be a better choice than a walker or a wheel chair.

People who are using oxygen all day and night generally cannot walk all that far. In a case such as this something to assist them while they walk around would be helpful and a great gift choice. They do not look like the standard walker so it might not be something that they do not want to use because it will not make them feel old.

This is why these are great for getting around. While a walker and a rollator might require two hands to operate while you are in motion, a walker does not usually give you any help with carrying anything you might have with you. If you go to the store for a quick couple of things you would be out of luck if all you had with you was a walker.

Wheelchairs also sometimes lack someplace to put the oxygen talk you will need. You cannot very well put it on your lap. That leaves a walker. This is of course out of the question. With a walker, the user must do most of the work. They are generally only good if you need help or have a problem keeping upright. They do not have a place for an oxygen tank either.

These operate just like any walker would in the sense that you just lean your weight on it and push it in the direction you want to go while you walk. They also will typically have a hand brake installed for stopping or slowing down the tool. The handbrake operates just like a bicycle brake does. You squeeze it down and it clamps onto one of the wheels to stop.

Many people have ordered these and are enjoying them tremendously. The fact that they can travel in more environments than a walker would allow is exciting to people. The last thing anybody wants is to not be able to go where their friends and loved ones are going. Nobody wants to be left behind.

These are also usually covered by insurance and medicare. Because people can generally show a need for such devices they are covered. If not, they are sold by both regular drug stores and medical supply stores alike. These are great for people who use oxygen too because the basket doubles as a place to hold the tank. This is a great advantage over wheel chairs because they generally do not have such a space.

The 3 wheel rollator is a great device that is very helpful to both senior citizens and people who are mobility challenged. No matter who needs the device it is both easy to get and easy to get covered. The medical supply service will usually deliver them and set them up for you or your loved one.
