Follow on Google News | Merry Walker and Happy New YearMaintaining the highest level of walking ability helps maintain a high quality of everyday life. Using a Merry Walker Traveler will assist a person whose walking ability has been impaired through the normal aging process or disease onset.
By: WendysWalkers.com The Merry Walker Traveler is especially useful for an alert elderly person at risk for falls. It is a reverse seated folding walker which has a high seat placed behind the person who is then able to sit down when rest is needed. The Merry Traveler was designed as an alternative to the normal forward pushing hand brake walkers or rollators which require a user to lock the brakes, turn around and sit down on a lower seat of a rolling walker. When using a Merry Walker, self rehabilitation is encouraged with each step and the high posterior seat is easily accessible should the person begin to fall, it has been found that most people fall backwards and sit down on the seat avoiding any injury from a fall. Encouraging ambulation in a Merry Walker Ambulation Device is useful for post surgery patients, such as knee and hip replacements, abdominal surgery recovery, heart patient exercise program, maternity (C-Section recovery), patients in ICU’s, and all other patients who display difficulty in ambulating after a medical/ trauma incident. The Merry Walker is often used in hospitals assisting staff nurses to walk the patients soon after surgery and to speed recovery. The faster the patient ambulates independently after surgery, the faster the patient can be released from the hospital. The Merry Walker should first be used under supervision and observation, after which the patient may be ready to practice walking by themselves, saving time and cost of care, while promoting self reliance, independence and self esteem. The Merry Walker Ambulation Device was designed to roll freely because the Merry Walker becomes an extension of the person's body. The Merry Walker must move in whatever direction the person wants to walk. When the person wants to sit down the Merry Walker will stop by the gravitational weight of the person using the walker, once the person is seated. The Merry Walker will roll a short distance, but the weight of the person using the Merry Walker will stop the walker from rolling very far. The Merry Walker was not designed to be pushed around by another person, nor was it designed to be pedaled by foot as people tend to do while seated in wheelchairs. The person's weight on the casters makes pushing and seated pedaling very difficult. The Merry Walker was designed to be a walker/chair combination, designed to be used as a safe walking device. The Merry Walker comes with wheels suitable for smooth indoor or outdoor spaces but if used on carpet or rougher outdoor surfaces, additional heavy duty casters are optional at additional charge and recommended for best optimal function. The Merry Walker devices are made with 16 gauge black powder coated tubular steel. It is bottom weighted to prevent tipping and the unit folds for storage and transport. It comes with a cushioned washable seat. A gel cushion is an option that is sold separately. There is a side pouch for personal items and all fabric is washable. The height and weight of each person is used to determine which Merry Walker is best for each individual. When it is needed we wish you a Merry Walker and to all a Good Year!
