[@tg-ik5pf]

Please demonstrate with the blue walker. Thank You.🥰

[@MovementFunction]

Walking with the blue walker is the exact same as walking with the silver walker. The only difference is that the skis on the back of the silver walker help it to slide better. Without skis (or tennis balls), you just need to be more mindful when pulling the walker back, otherwise the demonstration of walking with the two walkers would look the same.

[@tg-ik5pf]

@@MovementFunction My blue walker seems to be getting stuck. It seems uneven. Several years ago a friend loaned me her silver walker and it was smoother. Maybe I have a defective walker.

[@MovementFunction]

@@tg-ik5pf Yes, it could be defective or it could have a loose screw. If it is still relatively new, you might be able to return it. If not, it would be worth replacing for a new walker that works well and safely.

I have a Bariatric walker without the ski things on. I like my walker my cat not so much, but he is slowly adjusting 😂.

[@johncosh2066]

I notice one wheel is on the inside of the leg on one walker you are demonstrating. I have an narrow doorway to go through. Can I move the wheels to the inside to get through easier?

[@MovementFunction]

Yes, you can move the wheels to the inside of the frame to fit through a narrow doorway.

[@amarylisesquilin1433]

At the angle I'm looking at the walker don't look like you can move the wheel to the inside, I could be wrong though.

[@marlagibson7408]

How do you walk with a walker with no weight bearing and your leg must be at a 90 degree angle?

[@MovementFunction]

You would move the walker forward a few inches, lead forward, press straight down through the handles and step (mini hop) forward on the weight-bearing leg, landing between the rear posts. All while keeping the non-weight-bearing leg off the ground (I assume you mean your knee has to be flexed/bent 90 degrees).

[@arjandasgopalani5808]

If I want 4 legs with 4 wheels. Can I gets?

[@MovementFunction]

I suggest watching my video on four-wheeled walkers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGWoYmImtRrndU
