There are a couple of things to consider when choosing the right rollator
size for you – compact, regular or wide. Most people can fit more than
one size. Ask yourself where you plan to use your rollator, and then pick
one that fits you – and your environment.
Handle height
When deciding on which size to get, the first thing to consider is the
height of the handles. The handle height on all our models is adjustable,
however differs in terms of much between the rollator models.
The height of the rollator handles must be able to match the height of
your wrists, measured when standing.
How to: measure the height from the floor up to your wrist and then
compare with the handle heights available on our rollators to see which
ones might be compatible with you.
Since your arms will be at a slight angle forward as you grip the handles,
we recommend adding one or two centimeters to your measured wrist
height.
P.S. Remember to measure your height while wearing shoes as well if
you plan to use your rollator outside.
Getting the correct handle height is important, as it enables you to walk
upright and not be hunched over when using the rollator.
