More Advance Walkers With Four Wheels For Seniors

By Michelle Hughes


As the human body anatomy ages, the strength and balance capability grows weak. Mobility decreases so do the stability of an individual when compared to its younger body. Before, senior people uses cranes to help achieve walking with ease, but this item have several issues regarding arm stresses caused by these wooden items, and disabled are unable to utilize the device that is why they favor walkers in using it regularly.

In 1953, the first patented apparatus that aids senior citizens were established and named walker. It was a steel frame that helps an aged person to walk and balance around by utilizing this equipment. Next is, the evolution of the item by the addition of two wheels in front of the frame to include movability, and to this present day walkers with four wheels for seniors are devised with extra extensibility.

Previously, the first model of walker needed arm strengths for old and disabled people to be able to move the apparatus forward. Some might desire to drag the item periodically, but it makes it more uncomfortable to use especially for incapacitated individual. Issues with arm exhaustion have been reported and considered a factor for improving the next model.

Then the two wheeled walkers came into the appearance that allowed old people for a better walking experience eliminating dragging activity and arm problems. With the helped of the rollers in front, it got more mobility than the previous design requiring less force and energy and a more comfortable experience for senior citizens.

Still, the improvements on the walker were just a beginning of a newer enhancement. Manufacturers wanted a completely pleasing experience and more usefulness to the apparatus, that is where they added a portable seat. By completely placing four wheels on the device, it improved the dragging capabilities of the instrument compared to former designs and added more practicality where both disabled and old citizens can use.

The apparatus was equipped with a seat that old people can utilize whenever they are done walking around. Besides being portable, it also saves space inside the house as it is able to be folded and inserted into small spaces. Simple with more ability collated to the last two designs.

Apart from the seat, they also included a storage area beneath it. Most likely old communities are left alone or with their partner whenever their kids turn 18 or 21. Having a storage function on the instrument allow shopping for the elders easy in terms of carrying items around with less exertion of energy.

Same goes for the disabled people, particularly those who are not capable enough to move can employ walkers with far advanced functionality. An additional mechanical engine similar to a car, allows a disabled person to walk around just by controlling an analog on its handle. Similar storage functionalities are present to its equipment making their lives easier.

Although these developments have been very useful, new models are still developed acknowledging other situations that senior citizens or handicapped person might go through. There are startup drafts that grant a walker to use stairs. The evolution of this device continues until each and every variable is fixed that completely aids the needs of the user.
