Tamaños de los productos de apoyo para caminar

Los productos de apoyo para caminar suelen estar disponibles en uno o dos rangos de altura diferentes.

Rollators, walking frames and posterior walkers are usually available in different widths.

Now is a good time to look closely at the walking aids available to you.
This activity would be good to do in a group; however you can also do it on your own.
