How to Properly Fit Your Rollator
Rollators are not One Size Fits All, and it is very important to choose a rollator
that fits your height. Two things to consider are 1(handle height for proper
walking posture and 2) seat height - which should allow you to sit safely and
comfortably on the rollator with your back resting on the backrest, your feet
flat on the ground and your legs at a 90 degree angle.
How to sit with a rollator
1. Lock the brakes by pushing down on the brake handles until it locks in the
downward position. Brakes must be on the lock position for the sitting.
2. Test the rollator before sitting down to make sure that it will not roll.
3. Use the handles to stabilize your body as you turn around.
4. Before sitting, touch the back of your legs to the edge of the seat to ensure
proper positioning of the rollator.
5. Holding the handles, slowly lower your body onto the seat.
DO NOT support your full body weight on the handles when attempting to sit
down. The rollator is intended for stationary seating only. If someone sits then
pushes with their feet, the walker could easily tip and cause a fall. The walker
should not be used as a wheel- chair and it should never be pushed or rolled
when someone is sitting on it.
How to stand with a rollator
1. Make sure the brakes are engaged in the downward position
2. Sit as comfortably on the edge of your seat
3. Keep your toes in line with the edge of your seat
4. Place both hands on the chair or one hand on the chair and one hand on
the rollator
5. Never put all of your weight on the rollator, as it could make the rollator
move
6. Lean forward until some of your body weight is on your feet
7. Use your legs to stand, your arms should only be lifting the weight your
legs cannot
8. Do not move forward until you are certain about your balance
9. Unlock brakes and walk.

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.
