WALKER ACCESSORIES / WALKER ATTACHMENTS & REPLACEMENT PARTS
The elderly often need to keep certain belongings with them at all times. When they are using a walker, having walker accessories such as walker trays and baskets can make this possible. Sometimes, walkers will even come with these accessories included, but after a time, the accessories may become well used, and it may be beneficial to purchase replacement parts for walkers.
How Accessories Make a Difference
There are numerous walker accessories available for seniors, and they all provide their own benefits when used appropriately with the walker. One example of an accessory would be carry baskets, which allow elderly individuals to carry items and even hold walking canes or oxygen bags. They also often offer these people increased knee support. Don’t forget the cup holder or tray either! Other adult walker accessories may be able to increase gliding ability (primarily indoors) and even walker wheel kits to help users maneuver their walkers more easily.
Popular Walker Accessories
Many mobility walker accessories that are less common are for decorative purposes. As a matter of fact, there’s an entire movement of people who like to heavily decorate their walkers with accessories. While we don’t recommend this for everybody since this can lead to increased walker weight and decreased walker functionality, we do understand that there are many accessories that should be considered essential for select users to have on their walkers. These include the following:
- Walker Pouches: Some users don’t want to place a heavier basket on their walker. Therefore, they may want to opt for a mobility walker bag which can provide the same functionality of holding items like a basket, but without adding much extra weight to the walker. Walker pouches are extremely convenient and easy to attach; they also provide more privacy than a walker basket.
- Baskets: Baskets are almost essential, and some walkers even come standard with them. Having a walker basket allows users to carry a person’s belongings and other important items with them. We have a whole selection of walker baskets in our inventory as well.
- Knee Slings: A knee sling for a walker allows a person to rest his leg or stay off of it due to pain or medical requirements. It also increases both stability and comfort. Knee slings are also used so a person doesn’t have to necessarily buy a knee walker. They are commonly used on walkers with front-wheels, as they are much easier to move forward with minimal lifting.
