What is a roll?

After orthopedic surgery, many people are prescribed for mobility such as crutches or pedestrians. Patients suffering from degenerative muscle diseases can rely on pedestrians or even wheelchairs for mobility. The problem with many of these mobility aids is that they do not support "normal" walking. Barly or standard pedestrians users cannot easily turn or change instructions, while wheelchair users often form physical and psychological dependence on the chair. In order to solve this problem of limited mobility, more and more doctors and orthopedists recommend a walking aid known as a rollator

The Roller has been used in Scandinavian and European countries for many years, but has only recently happened in the United States. The roller is best described as a standard sidewalk taken to the extreme. Four large tires replace two small wheels and two pedestrian posts. The roller handles have stirrup brakes, similar to an adetistupy wheel. The user can take these handPress the brakes to lock the wheels in place or relax them to continue walking.

The roller also contains a large basket for storage purposes along with a canvas seat and back between the handles. This seat allows users to allow breaks to relax at any time. The roller storage area is often larger and more stable than the standard pedestrian fastening baskets. Due to its foldable design, the roller can also be folded and placed in a trunk or rear seat of the car. Standard pedestrians can be folded into thirds, but they are not nearly as compact as a roll.

However, certain disadvantages are connected using a rolller. Because the technology behind the roller is so new, there are only a few long -term studies on its mechanical properties. This is a concern for orthopedic surgeons and doctors, because religious assistance in walking can eventually recover from patients from ChirUrgical procedure more harm than good. Some tests carried out on volunteers using a mobility roller have revealed several anomalies.

Roller tends to carry the weight of the user at the hips, which can take a large part of stress from ankles and knees when walking. The problem with this shift in the weight of weight is a more limited range of movement over time. The roller allows users to change the direction more easily, but does not necessarily stimulate the natural mechanics of the body that we all use for a walk. This suggests that patients facing short -term rehabilitation can do better with crutches or a standard pedestrian, while patients with long -term mobility problems can find a greater advantage from the roll.
