When considering Medical Walkers, an important thing to keep in mind is where will the walker be used primarily? Although most walkers can be used indoors or outdoors, there are advantages and disadvantages to most models. For instance, 3 wheel walkers have great maneuverability and because of the design, they work well in homes or areas indoors that have tight spaces. However, they are much less stable; especially outdoors on smooth concrete. Therefore, they would not be the best choice for someone that is not agile enough to control it. Weighing the pros and cons of all models is best so there are no problems.

For a few years now my mobility has been deterioting through no real fault of my own, but as a result of the slow proggresion on a horrible disease: Parkinsons disease. If you’re at all familiar with this ailment you’ll know how it causes “the shakes” with resulting unsteadiness. I was getting so bad I was becoming somewhat reclusive as I just was afraid to venture out as I couldn’t stay steady on my feet.
My dear wife, bless her soul presented me with a great gift, a folding mobility scooter. This little machine has enables us to enjoy what we used to do together, drives, eating out, short walks, travel etc.
The folding action makes it dead easy to transport, what a great invention.

My dad has been in a wheelchair for his entire life. He is a great man who just doesn’t let something like this get in his way of doing anything. However, because he doesn’t seem to complain about anything he has had the same old chair for a very long time. Since then there have been many advancements in wheelchairs and scooters. I have been finding out the process of choosing mobility scooters and wheelchairs. I want to do something extremely special for him for his 50th birthday coming up. And I figure getting him a more lightweight wheechair that rolls better would be amazing.
