A walker is designated to aid in balance and support for patients who have mobility issues. It allows them to maintain an upright position and stability while walking, particularly for those with generalized weakness or balance disorders. A walker should not be used to completely support a patient’s weight, which is an incorrect use and can lead to safety issues or device failure.
