As our parents age walking may become difficult for them. This occurs due to arthritis, unsteadiness, episodes of dizziness, generalized fatigue and weakness, as well as other health problems that are common among senior citizens.
It is not at all uncommon for their gait to suffer as a result of this. These factors bring them the increased risks of falls possibly leading to fractures. Very often they will deny these observations that are seen by their families and friends. It may be difficult to convince them that a walker would be beneficial to them during these moments.
The Hugo Elite Rolling Walker is a quality rolling walker with a built seat and attached bag. The walker itself is fully adjustable, as is the padded seat. Underneath the seat is a handy compartment to store things, such as a purse or purchases. The attached bag will store additional, smaller items. Weighing a little over 20 pounds, it is lightweight and moves smoothly on four wheels. Simple to assemble, it requires no tools.
The Hugo Elite Rolling Walker collapses for easy storage in the back seat or the trunk of a vehicle. Its locking brakes keep the user safe when sitting down on the seat.
This walker is perfect for using indoors, outdoors or out shopping. If its user becomes fatigued while out and about they can quickly turn around and sit down until they rested.
This walker has received rave reviews and has been helpful to many elderly and/or handicapped people. It is reasonably priced at approximately $140 in 2010. It also comes with a 3-year warranty on the frame and a 1-year warranty on the parts.
If you notice that your parent, an elderly person in your life or someone in your life that is handicapped or ill start to decline in their walking abilities help them to come to terms with their age and/or condition in a gentle manner. Talk to them about using a walker to avoid any injuries, which could further cause them to decline more quickly.
