Rollator FAQs
1. What’s the difference between a rollator and a rollator walker?
“Rollator” and “rollator walker” are interchangeable terms. Both refer to a walking aid with wheels on all legs, no handles, typically with handlebars with brakes, a built-in seat and sometimes a storage basket. Unlike a standard walker that you have to lift with each step, a rollator, such as a Drive Nitro or Nova, can be pushed forward smoothly, giving you continuous support.
2. Steel or Aluminum rollator?
Aluminum rollators, like the Drive Nitro, are preferred because they are lighter, making them easier to steer and transport. While steel rollators may be more durable the weight difference is big. Aluminum rollators weigh between 15-20 pounds, steel rollators can weigh over 25 pounds. The lighter weight of aluminum rollators makes them better for users with limited upper body strength and canes and easier to lift into cars or over thresholds, especially models like the Drive Nitro.
3. Which is safer, a walker or a rollator?
The safety of a walker vs a rollator depends on the user’s specific needs and physical condition. Standard walkers are more stable and better suited for users with significant balance issues or who need to put a lot of weight on the device. However, all-terrain rollators offer enhanced stability for those who need extra support. Rollators are less stable but give a more natural gait and are easier to steer, so safer for users who can walk but need some assistance with balance and endurance. The choice between a walker and rollators for sale should be made by a healthcare professional after assessing the user’s mobility needs and physical ability. Seniors may find wheel rollators more suitable for smoother support.
4. Can I sit on a rollator?
Yes, most rollators for sale have a built-in seat so you can sit and rest when needed. This is great for users who tire easily or need to take breaks during longer walks. But rollators are not to be used as wheelchairs, the fold down seat is for temporary sitting only and you should engage the brakes before sitting to be stable.
5. Can I take a rollator on a plane?
Yes, you can take rollators on airplanes. Most airlines allow rollators as assistive devices and don’t count them as part of your luggage allowance. Popular models include the Drive Nitro and Nova rollator. But always check with your airline first as policies may vary. When flying you can use your rollator up to the airplane door where it will be gate checked and returned to you upon arrival. Some compact, foldable rollators may even fit in overhead compartments depending on the model and airline rules.
6. Who should use a rollator?
Walkers for sale are for users who can walk but need extra support for balance, stability, or endurance. Options in sizes like the star 8 rollator provide added comfort and convenience. They are good for:
- People recovering from surgery or injury
- Those with arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or other mobility issues might find the bariatric rollator an ideal choice for added support.
- Elderly with general weakness or balance problems may benefit specifically from bariatric rollators designed for extra support and stability.
- Anyone who gets tired when walking longer distances might benefit from using a scooter, a wheel rollator, or a 3 wheel rollator.
- Users who need occasional seating options while out and about
A healthcare professional can determine if a rollator is suitable for you based on your specific needs and physical condition. Consider options such as the Nitro Euro Style Rollator for added style and functionality.
7. Will Medicare pay for a rollator walker?
Medicare Part B will cover the purchase of rollator walkers if they are medically necessary and prescribed by a doctor. To qualify the rollator must be used in the home and the user must have a condition that impairs mobility or is at risk of falling. Medicare will cover 80% of the approved amount for the rollator and the user will be responsible for the remaining 20% after meeting their annual deductible.
8. What is medical necessity for a walker?
Medical necessity for a walker or rollator is when:
- The user has a mobility limitation that prevents them from participating in one or more mobility related activities of daily living in the home
- The mobility limitation can’t be resolved with a cane or crutch
- The walker or rollator will help the user to do these activities
- The user can use the walker or rollator safely
- The user will use the walker or wheel rollator, or consider the convenience of a Nitro Euro Style Rollator.
A doctor’s prescription and documentation of these factors are required to establish medical necessity for Medicare coverage.
