Ensure your cane, walker, or rollator is safe, comfortable, and joint‑friendly

Mobility aids can make a huge difference in daily comfort — but only when they’re fitted correctly. A cane that’s too short, a walker that’s too tall, or a rollator with loose brakes can increase joint strain and reduce stability.

Occupational therapists often say:

“A properly fitted mobility aid should feel like support — not extra work.”

This free Mobility Aid Fit & Adjustment Checklist helps you review your device step‑by‑step to ensure it’s safe, comfortable, and aligned with your needs.
