What not to do when using a walker?

Lightweight walking aids are an important tool to assist people with mobility impairments in their activities and ensure their travel safety. Correct use of lightweight walking aids can effectively reduce their physical burden and reduce the risk of falling. However, incorrect operation or improper use can lead to safety hazards and even cause accidents. The following are taboos that need to be avoided when using a lightweight walking aid.

I. Illegal weight-bearing and reliance

1.Stacking bags and other debris on the lightweight walking aid will cause the extra weight to destroy the balance of the lightweight walking aid's center of gravity and greatly increase the risk of tipping.

2. Rely on the adjustable adult walker to support your body, and do not push the adjustable adult walker forward too much. Such behavior will cause the body's center of gravity to shift, causing instability, falls, and other accidents.

3. Bend over and lean on the adjustable adult walker to use force to avoid injuries caused by improper stress on the waist and prevent the adjustable adult walker from turning over.

4. Use the medical frame walker to exert force and pull directly to stand up from a sitting position. This action can easily cause the medical frame walker to shift, or strain your own joints and muscles.

II. Improper operation and movement

1.For medical frame walkers with rubber feet, it is prohibited to slide and use them, and the standard steps of "lifting - placing - stepping" must be followed; for medical frame walkers with wheels, it is prohibited to deliberately lift the wheels and move them to avoid losing stable support.

2. When moving, be sure to wait until the four feet of the medical frame walker are completely and steadily on the ground before taking a step forward. It is prohibited to act hastily without confirming the support status.

III. Improper selection and use environment

1.When using a mobility frame walking aid in crowded places, narrow corridors, enclosed spaces, and other areas with obstructed vision and limited range of movement, collisions and jamming are likely to occur, leading to safety accidents.

2. Choosing a mobility frame walking aid that does not meet your own mobility needs, such as a mismatch between your height and the height of the mobility frame walking aid, a mismatch between the function and your physical condition, etc., will not only reduce the efficiency of use, but also cause physical discomfort and even induce the risk of falling.

IV. Neglecting daily maintenance

Be careful not to neglect the maintenance of the mobility frame walking aid for a long time. You need to regularly check the wear degree of the foot pads, the flexibility of the wheel rotation, and the stability of the bracket. If maintenance is neglected, the mobility frame walking aid will change from a safe travel tool to a potential safety hazard.

The core of safe use of adjustable adult walkers lies in "choosing the right one, using the right one, and protecting it well". It is necessary to avoid illegal weight-bearing, improper operation and other behaviors, and to match the appropriate use environment and do daily maintenance. Only by strictly abiding by the above taboos can the assistive role of medical frame walkers be fully utilized and travel safety effectively ensured.
