Are tennis balls or glide skis better for a front-wheeled walker?

Tennis balls and glide skis perform a similar function on a front-wheeled walker. They each provide a surface to ensure a smoother ride with the walker. They also can help the user maneuver over sidewalks more easily when outside. The use of either should be tested with a caregiver nearby in case their addition creates too much speed for the user. Tennis balls provide more drag than do a new pair of glide skis.

The four-wheeled rolling walker has become a basic companion for those recovering from various surgeries or folks who need a bit of help staying mobile longer. Traditional walkers are those that use the tennis balls or glide skis. Both rollators and standard walkers come in color choices and with accessories.

Look for Products and the category "Going Places" on our website to find rollators and standard walkers.
