How to Use a Walker Around the House

Walkers keep us safe from falls. This is critical for an aging individual since it's estimated that a single fall can cost upwards of $35,000. There are several principles you should follow to ensure your safety while using a walker around the house. First, always stay close to your walker. You may feel strong enough to stand on your own, but all it takes is one error in judgment to wind up in a bad situation. Next, be sure to keep both hands on the walker at all times while walking. A single hand may not provide enough support, resulting in some kind of fall. When reaching for an object above the hips, face towards the object with both body and walker. When reaching for an object below the waist, stand perpendicular with the walker to the object. Lastly, use an item like a walker basket to carry items so that both hands can stay secured to the walker.
