The main feature I look for is adjustability,” says Goei. “I like my poles a little shorter going uphill and a little longer going downhill.” Your body frame, e.g. your height, shape and weight. If you are a particularly large, tall or short person, you will need to ensure that the equipment you choose is suitable for your weight and height

If you have stairs in your house and use a walking aid, obtain a second one and keep one upstairs and one downstairs. Do NOT attempt to take a walking frame up and down stairs These have a metal spike which provides a firm grip on snow and ice. The spike can be flipped up and down when not needed.

Fenetic Wellbeing offers a range of walking frames, rollators, zimmer frames and walking aid accessories, in addition to Topro products from Norway and Rollz from the Netherlands.

These frames should not be used for people who put significant weight through the frame, as the frame can unintentionally move forward with a pushing down/forward movement. They can also be hazardous to individuals with a Parkinsonian gait (characterised by small shuffling steps which accelerate) so consult with your healthcare professional. There are a number of actions that you can take to minimise your risk of a fall whilst using a walking aid.The rehabilitation process is a gradual progression towards independent and unassisted walking. It may start with the use of one kind of walking aid to give you confidence before progressing to another walking aid. The ultimate aim of a rehabilitation programme is for you to regain as much independence and safety as possible in your walking, preferably without walking equipment. The Motability Scheme can help if you want to hire or buy an electric wheelchair. It allows some people to use their benefits to pay for a wheelchair.
