How to choose walking support items

Choose the one that suits your lifestyle

There are many different types of mobility aids available, including walkers, strollers, and shopping carts.
It is important to choose a product that suits the user's physical condition and the situation in which you want to use it.

Use the chart and explanations below to help you find the walking aid that's right for you.

Key points for choosing a silver cart

✓ Handle height

A good rule of thumb is to divide your height by 2 + 5-10cm. The ideal height is one where your elbows are bent at about 45 degrees (about belly button height).

✓ Purpose

Choose one based on its purpose, such as whether it will be used primarily for shopping, walking assistance, or how often you go out.

✓ Balance of storage capacity and stability

Decide what you want to prioritize depending on the situation, such as around the house, long distances, or shopping.

✓ Main unit weight

A lightweight model is convenient if you have to carry it up and down stairs or into and out of your car.

*A silver cart is an auxiliary device that allows people who are able to walk independently to walk stably.
It's easier to imagine if you think of it as an extension of a walking stick.

lastly

If you feel uneasy and want to start using a walker, or if you feel unstable using a walking stick, it is a good idea to consider introducing walking support items.
First, visit your nearest KINDCARE store and experience the operability and size for yourself.
