Hand-Friendly Walker & Poles

I mentioned to anankastic I used mobility aids that were easier on my hands, so here are a picture and a video.

When I’m inside the house or in smooth places for short times, I use a four-wheel rolling walker. As I got older, my hands got more arthritic, so grabbing the walker got harder. MyGuy wrapped 1/2" foam pipe insulation around the handles on my original device, which gave out last year.

The handles on my new device solved that issue nicely: they’re a “palm grip” design (also available on canes).

I use Exerstrider² one-piece poles when I’m primarily walking on non-paved surfaces (the dog park, outside the cabin up north).
