Did you make it to see Sheila Buck, OT at the May 1 seminar? Sheila provided some great insights into selecting appropriate walkers: "it's not just about being lightweight and wrist height measurements".

Walkers - It's More Than 4 Wheels...

SelfCare had a great group of 9 from each of the SelfCare locations attend the Sheila Buck, OT Walker seminar: "It's More Than 4 Wheels..." on May 1. 

Here are some of the notes they come back with:
  • Check out how the person walks with a walker to see if they need an A Frame or H Frame
  • The lightest walker isn't necessarily the best - a heavier walker may offer more stability and better tracking
  • The handles don't have to be set at the same height. Sometimes having the handles at different levels will result in better posture; observe the shoulder and head positioning while you make changes. 
  • It's OK to turn the handles (for example sideways or forward on a walker like the Evo Low) for a more comfortable hand position and better grip
