Read more about Walking Aids

Walking aids are vital to enhance stability, confidence, and freedom of movement. Walking aids are helpful whether you are recovering from an injury, suffering from a long-term health condition, or adapting to a life of changing mobility due to age.
At Welzo, we offer a complete selection of walking frames, rollators, crutches, walking sticks, and zimmer frames — all considering comfort, ergonomics, and safety.

What are walking aids used for?

Walking aids are useful for anyone who is experiencing difficulty with balance, coordination, or lower limb strength, and are frequently recommended by physiotherapists and occupational therapists for:

• After surgery
  
• Arthritis and joint conditions
  
• Stroke recovery
  
• Age-related decline in mobility
  
• Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's or Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

From lightweight, all-aluminum walking frames for indoor use to Self Propelled Wheelchairs - we have a walking aid for every need.

Features and Benefits of Modern Walking Aids

Walking aids today are not just a way to improve stability - many incorporate features such as:

• Ergonomic hand grips, to help reduce wrist strain
  
• Adjustable heights for posture and comfort
  
• Foldable for easy transport and storage
  
• Built-in shopping baskets or carry bags
  
• Non-slip ferrules or wheels to allow easier movement and grip
  

Laura Jenkins, a physiotherapist explains:

"The right walking aid does more than just help you get from A to B. It allows you to move safely, reduces the risk of falling, and increases your confidence to perform everyday activities. This is generally due to the fact that a walking aid appropriately fitted and functioning as designed enables these advantages.

All of Welzo's walking aids are built to NHS standards and CE certification, ensuring high quality, reliability and compliance with current UK healthcare legislation.

How Do I Choose a Walking Aid?

Finding the best walking aid will depend on:

• Your level of mobility
  
• The locations you will be using the walking aid (inside or outside the home)
  
• If you require support on one side, or both sides of your body.
  

1. Walking sticks and canes are suitable for those that will require some minor balance support.
   
2. Crutches are recommended for short-term use or if you are recovering from surgery.
   
3. Zimmer frames and walkers are stronger walking aids that you can use in your home.
   
4. Rollators are walking aids that provide additional support when walking long distance and have wheels and brake system for safety while resting.

Our team of mobility specialists are here to help you find the most appropriate walking aid to suit your needs.
