How to walk with a rollator

1. Move between the arm pads, while standing in an upright position with 

good posture. 

2. Hold the brake handles with your hands while your forearms rest on the 

platform. 

3. This position will allow you to quickly stop the rollator or control your speed 

if necessary by squeezing the handbrake. 

4. Roll your rollator slowly forward so that the rear wheels are a few inches 

ahead of your body. 

5. Step forward and place one foot in line with the rear wheels. 

6. Maintaining a steady roll forward, place your other foot in line with the rear 

wheels. 

7. Determine a pace that is comfortable and allows you to place each step in 

line with the rear wheels.

Maintenance

Check your rollator periodically to make sure that the brakes are working 

correctly and that all of the nuts and bolts are secure. DO NOT use the rolla-

tor if the brakes are not working correctly.
