I commented on a previous one that because I’ve been watching your show on how to walk, how to fall, and most of all how to get up I have been able to get around with my vertical and so when I had brain surgery in November. I had a very good Recovery because I knew what to do and I really wanted to thank you guys for that. Thank you so much. I also wanted to give my best wishes to Bob and his future ventures and I feel sad about what is happening with him but I wish him the best and I wish Brad the best because you are his partner on the show.You two great thorough advice and recommendations, so thank you.
Another very helpful video, Bob &Brad. Thanks! I own one of these, and I'd like to mention how important it is to strive to walk as close to the walker as possible!! If you have lower back problems, as I do (arthritis in lumbar spine), the walker is great, but there is a tendency to "lean over" while pushing it. The closer you get to the walker, the more "upright" you will be!!
Have you considered one of the newer upright walkers that have elbow pads? I have one and it is a miracle for me as I have lumbar spinal stenosis and other problems with my spine, and the thing I love about it is that it reduces my efforts in pushing the walker when I’m walking, and it reinforces need to stand up straight and tall.
I have a lumbar spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis/DDD, idiopathic neuropathy, and fibromyalgia. I have one of the newer upright walkers, and it is a lifesaver for me. I like the fact that it doesn’t put as much pressure/pain on my lower back when I use it when I’m walking either indoors or outdoors. Of course, the only downside is that it’s a bit cumbersome if I have to take the bus and have to lug it up the steps. There is a lift, but because there is only limited space for wheelchairs and what not, I prefer to use the stairs.
I love your channel and all your videos. You both should get on a comedy show. You are informative and funny. As for the four wheeled walkers I wanted to add that someone with stability issues need to be extremely careful on ramps and someone should be close by as they go down the ramp. My mother in law had a problem once where the walker got away from her and she ended up falling causing bruising and other issues which required medical attention. Thanks for all you do.
Please do a review on the drive medical rollator duet. It is a walker/transport/wheelchair combo. It has 8 inch wheels and converts. It isn't quit as nice as the hugo navigator, but I'd love to hear the two of you do a review on it.
Great video. However, it's not just for mom or dad grandma or grandpa, it is for us too - the walking wounded...I am 50 - got attacked by a dog and needed a walker to move. So don't 'age ' people out of this. Thanks.
I want one. I need one. I want the same make and model Bob shows on this video. Brad said the Brand Name but not the Model Number. I can't find them anywhere. Perhaps the Model Number would help. Please post it. Thanks. Long time fan with rejuvenated rotator cuff thanks to B & B.
If Medicare pays for this type of walker, you can't use it outside! I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and I was told it could only be used in the house! ????

I have RA & other disabilities & these walkers are so handy. Very useful!

Excellent video. I'm not at the walker stage and hopefully I'll never need one but if I do, I'll be following Bob and Brad's guide!
How about a demo on navigating doors. push & pull to open, stairs or a escalator.
I am 55years not just for the elderly ! But you guys are really good♥️
I'm 28 and just got one!
Hi I just got one. Would u say are good for some one after a stroke 🤔
When we built house 50 years ago, designed 36” doors, wide halls, extra room in bath.
These are really helpful walking aids
Helpful video 👍. No mention of broken hearts lately. Have you mastered the art of fixing them?

I wish you would review upright walkers. It's difficult to use a walker when you have to bend over and you have spinal problems
I think we know it's not just for seniors!
Great video. However, it's not just for mom or dad grandma or grandpa, it is for us too - the walking wounded...I am 50 - got attacked by a dog and needed a walker to move. So don't 'age ' people out of this. Thanks.
There are better ones now with lighter bodies and fully collapsible for the boot, which I have just bought, thanks for the tips though❣️
If you do a follow up on this can you address anterior vs posterior walkers?
what about adjusting seat hight?
I have cracking sound on my right hip joint, when i lay down bend my knee and move it up and down. is it ok ?
this will be useful information in about 60 years.
55 years now.
I take my 4 wheel walker, to help me in the shower. My ensuite is small, but I get around, even though I have pain.

guys, check out the Guardian Simplicity Rollator. I just saw one the other day. It folds"in half' like a w/c folds. Check it out . Love your videos!!
This wasn’t really instructional. You simply gave the pros and cons of one or the other. I need to know how to use it.
Your Pt is supposed to do that. Just don’t push the walker out in front of your and DONT hunch over
@@debityger4458 I am not doing pt. And standing straight and not hunching over is easier said than done.
@@Julie_Truly_in_KY I hope you already found it but they do have a video - how to walk walk a Walker.
