Walker and rollator
Walkers and rollators are frames that a person holds while walking to gain balance and support, either lifted at each step or rolled on wheels. They are used in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, care homes and by people at home after surgery or with limited mobility.
Common types
- Standard walking frame: a light frame without wheels that the user lifts forward.
- Two-wheeled walker: front wheels and rear glides so the frame can be pushed.
- Rollator: three or four wheels with hand brakes, often with a seat and basket.
- Upright or forearm walker: supports the forearms for a more upright posture.
- Knee walker: a wheeled frame on which the user rests one knee while the injured leg is off the ground.

Documents to ask for
Buyers usually ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or local registration and ISO 13485 for the maker; walkers and rollators are commonly tested to the ISO 11199 series.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Is a rollator suitable for every patient?
No. A rollator moves freely and needs the user to control it with the brakes, so a standard frame is often used for people who need more stability. The choice is usually made by a physiotherapist.
