What's the Difference Between a Walker and Rollator?

Walkers focus on stability. You pick them up and move them forward with each step, which provides solid support but requires more energy. Rollator walkers have three or four wheels that move with you. Most include a seat and storage basket.

Standard walkers work well when you need maximum support or primarily move around indoors. Rollators suit people who want to walk longer distances, carry items, or need to sit down occasionally. The wheels make movement smoother, but you need good hand strength to control the brakes.

Standard Walking Canes

These single-point canes offer reliable support for people who need assistance with balance or weight distribution. Available in adjustable aluminum or traditional wood, they’re lightweight yet sturdy.

Quad Base Canes

Four-point bases provide extra stability for those who need more support than a standard cane offers. The wider base helps prevent falls while the adjustable height ensures proper fit. These canes can stand upright on their own, making them convenient for sitting and standing.

Offset Handle Canes

Designed with ergonomics in mind, offset handles position your weight directly over the cane tip for better balance and reduced wrist strain. The angled grip distributes pressure more evenly across your palm, making longer periods of use more comfortable and reducing hand fatigue.

We’ll Cover Your Insurance Paperwork

Insurance and Medicare often cover medical canes when prescribed by your doctor. We’re familiar with the paperwork and can help guide you through the process. Our staff knows which models typically qualify for coverage and can provide the documentation you need to submit claims or work with your insurance provider.

Beyond the initial purchase, we’re here for ongoing support. Replacement tips, padding, and breaks wear out over time, and your needs might change as you recover or adapt. We stock all the accessories and replacement parts you’ll need, plus we’re always happy to make adjustments or help you find additional equipment as your situation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get a cane from Medicare?

Medicare Part B typically covers 80% of the cost when your doctor prescribes a cane as durable medical equipment. You'll need a prescription stating medical necessity. We can help with the required documentation and work with Medicare-approved suppliers. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and coverage options.

Will Medicare pay for a rollator walker?

Medicare Part B covers walkers and rollators when your doctor determines they're medically necessary. Coverage typically pays 80% of the approved amount after you meet your annual deductible. We accept Medicare assignment and will verify your specific benefits before purchase.

How do I tell if I need a cane?

You might need a cane if you experience unsteadiness when walking, have balance issues, feel tired after short distances, or have been advised by a healthcare provider to use mobility assistance. Pain in your legs, hips, or back that affects your walking, or a fear of falling, are also good indicators. When in doubt, consult your doctor or physical therapist.

Can you be pushed in a rollator like a wheelchair?

Rollators aren't designed to safely transport seated passengers. For situations where someone needs to push you, transport chairs or wheelchairs provide proper support and safety features designed for that purpose.

How long should a cane be for your height?

When standing upright with the cane at your side, the handle should reach the crease of your wrist. Your elbow should have a slight bend of about 15-20 degrees when holding the handle. Most canes are adjustable, and proper fitting is crucial for safety and comfort. We'll help ensure your cane is sized correctly during your visit.

How do you pick the best walker or rollator for seniors?

Consider where you'll use it most, your grip strength, and your balance needs. Walkers provide more stability but require lifting. Rollators move more easily but need hand coordination for brake control. Height adjustment matters too. Our staff can help you try different models to find what feels right.

What disabilities qualify for a cane?

Many conditions can benefit from cane use, including arthritis, stroke recovery, hip or knee problems, balance disorders, muscle weakness, chronic pain conditions, and neurological issues like Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. Your doctor will determine if a cane is medically necessary for your specific situation and can provide the prescription needed for insurance coverage.

What's the difference between folding walkers for travel and standard models?

Folding walkers for travel are lighter and collapse down smaller, which makes them easier to fit in car trunks or store in closets. Regular walkers are built more solid since they're meant for everyday use at home. If you travel a lot or have limited storage space, the folding ones work well, but they might not feel as sturdy as the standard versions.

What is the best cane for balance and walking?

Quad canes with four-point bases offer the most stability for balance issues, while standard single-point canes work well for mild support needs. Offset handle canes provide good balance with less wrist strain. The best choice depends on your specific needs, strength level, and where you'll be using it most. Our staff can help you test different canes.

What weight capacity do most walkers and rollators support?

Most walkers can handle between 300 to 350 pounds. Rollators usually max out around 250 to 300 pounds, but it depends on the specific model. If you need something that supports more weight, there are heavy-duty options that go up to 500 pounds. The weight limit isn't just about whether it'll break; it also affects how stable and long-lasting the equipment will be.

What is better, a cane or a walking stick?

Medical canes are specifically designed for mobility support with features like rubber tips, ergonomic handles, and adjustable heights. Walking sticks are typically used for hiking or casual walking.
