Walking Aids - Walkers

Image
Walkers are the last resort for persons who don't need or want to use a wheelchair but are unable to properly utilize canes or crutches. The walker is essentially a frame that the user takes with them and uses for assistance when their strength, stamina, and/or balance when walking has been harmed by a condition or injury. A basic walker consists of a metal frame in the shape of a "U," with the "U's" two arms at the user's sides and the "U's" base across the user's front.

The walk-in tub is probably not the ideal choice if you can't walk alone, have terrible foot drop, expect to be wheelchair-bound in the future, or need to bathe children in the tub. 2. Walk-in tubs are ideal for folks who enjoy bathing but also desire the option of a standing or seated shower. If you only shower, go for a handicapped-accessible shower with a bench. 3. Swing open or close the door. Swing out doors require additional space in front of the tub and, if not properly secured, can burst open and flood the room (and the basement). They frequently require you to insert a latch pin, and if you forget, the door may not close properly.  4. Bes...
