What is the difference between a cane, walker, and rollator — and which is right?
A cane addresses mild balance concerns; a rollator is for people who need stability and occasional seated rest; a standard walker for maximum support. The right choice depends on the specific balance and strength issue, not general mobility. A physiotherapist assessment produces a better recommendation than any online guide.
