Questions people ask
What's the difference between a walker and a rollator?
Walkers may have no wheels, 2 wheels or 4 wheels, and some come with brakes, a basket and a seat, according to the National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus. A walker with wheels, brakes and a seat is often sold as a rollator. MedlinePlus says your surgeon or physical therapist will help you choose the type that is best for you.
How tall should a walker be?
The handles should be at the level of your hips, with your elbows slightly bent when you hold them, according to the National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus. Each product shows the handle height range the maker lists.
How much weight can a rollator hold?
It depends on the model. We show each maker's own weight rating. If you plan to sit on the seat, check that the rating covers you. Use the weight filter on this page.
Does Medicare cover walkers and rollators?
Yes, if you qualify. Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers walkers, including rollators if you're eligible, as durable medical equipment (DME) when your doctor or other provider orders one for use at home. After the Part B deductible, you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount if your supplier accepts assignment, and the supplier must be enrolled in Medicare (Medicare.gov).
