Senior citizens, including those with osteoarthritis or other musculoskeletal issues or those who have recovered from stroke or other musculoskeletal injuries, may need to use a wakad for balance, range of motion, and stability.
There are many walkers on the market. When choosing a walker, consider your needs. You will also need to know how to use it safely. Find the perfect fit for climbing up and down stairs.
Many curbs have ramps that are accessible to wheelchairs, but you will still encounter curbs at some point in life.
Here’s how to safely climb the stairs
- Move closer to the curb
- Place the Walker at the curb
- Push down on the Walker using your hands, then step up with the stronger leg.
This is how you can descend from a standard staircase
- I woke up at the edge of the staircase
- The Walker is not allowed to be down on the ground
- Slowly lower your vehicle leg, and slowly push the walker down with your hands.
- Now, take a step back with a stronger leg
Sitting with your walker
- This is how you can sit down on a chair after walking.
- Stand with your back against the chair
- To ensure that you’re close enough to sit on the chair, touch your back to it.
- Slide your walker leg forward to shift weight to your stronger leg
- Next, switch your hand to the armrests on the chair. Finally, sit down.
With the help of a Walker, here’s how to get out of mutual comfort
- Place the walker in front of the chair
- Place your arms on the armrests of your chair and move forward.
- Move your arms from the armrest to the Walker.
- For a moment, stand in this position until you feel stable and balanced. Then, you can begin to walk
