Walkers, on the other hand, provide stability and support for those who may need assistance but do not require the mobility of wheeled devices. Traditional walkers come with four legs and may or may not have wheels on the front legs.

In addition to safety and independence, comfort is a crucial aspect of choosing a tub and shower chair. Many of these chairs are ergonomically designed to provide maximum support. Features such as cushioned seats, backrests, and armrests can make the bathing experience far more enjoyable.

L'utilisation correcte des béquilles est également essentielle. En gardant une position droite, l'utilisateur doit transférer son poids sur les béquilles tout en marchant, en déplaçant l'autre jambe entre elles. Il est important de ne pas placer tout le poids sur les béquilles, car cela pourrait entraîner des blessures aux aisselles ou aux poignets. De plus, l'utilisateur doit apprendre à gérer les escaliers, une compétence qui nécessite de la pratique. En montant, il faut toujours commencer par la jambe saine, tandis qu'en descendant, il est préférable de commencer par la béquille.
