How to Walk with a Walker
Determine Correct Walker Height
Walking with your Wheeled Walker
1. Roll your walker slowly forward so that the rear
wheels are a few inches ahead of your body.
2. Step forward and place one foot in line with the rear wheels.
3. Maintaining a steady roll forward, place your other foot in line with the rear
wheels.
4. Determine a pace that is comfortable and allows you to place each step in line
with the rear wheels.

Stand behind the walker with your arms and hands hanging at your sides and
both feet in line with the rear wheels. Adjust the height of the walker handles (see
Assembly Instructions) so that they are even with your hip joint. When you stand
and grip the handles, your arms should be slightly bent at your elbows
(approximately 20 to 30 degrees.)
WARNING
Failure to follow any or all safety instructions
may result in serious injury or death.
