THE PROBLEM
Walking aids are typically used by people with disabilities or injuries, or by people who have problems with balance.
Rollators and other traditional walking aids force the user into ergonomically poor positions, which may lead to even more serious symptoms, like back pain, headaches, muscle stiffness and joint pain.
Currently used devices may also be harmful to users’ mental well-being and self-esteem, especially when used in rehabilitation.
Rollators and walking aids are often used by people who are at increased risk of falling. The problem is that with a rollator the user has no support on the sides and behind him as he/she is walking behind the device. This poses a risk of falling, which can result in fractures of the hip, pelvis, femur and spine. Falling is considered to be the second-leading cause of accidental death and unintentional injury worldwide. Approximately 424,000 individuals die due to falls every year.
