All individuals using a 4 wheel walker should have an assessment with a physiotherapist to ensure the walker is setup correctly and they are using it correctly. This is important to encourage an optimal gait (walking) pattern, optimal postural alignment, whilst minimising the risk of falls and injury associated with poor bio-mechanical setup. Here are some general tips on setting up a 4 wheel walker correctly: Ensure you have no upper limb injuries that may be aggravated through the use of the walker. Adjust the height of the handles so your elbow is at a slight bend when holding the handles and your back is straight. You can also adjust the position of your wrist so there is only a slight backward bend (wrist extension) when holding the handles (Note that too much wrist extension places increased stress on the joints of the wrist). Try to walk with a tall / long spine (as though you are a puppet and a piece of string is pulling your head towards the ceiling or sky). Ensure the use of the 4 wheel walker does not cause or increase any pain. Always check the setup of your 4 wheel walker with your treating physiotherapist prior to use.
