Supporting users with poor balance and/or poor mobility, the TOPRO Troja walker provides body support and is designed primarily for flat surfaces indoors. This easy-to-fold walker with 4 wheels and forearm supports possesses a modern, lightweight appeal that requires little space when stored. With an integrated seat that allows users an opportunity for resting, the Troja walker is designed to promote good walking posture while supporting various types of mobility challenges stemming from medical conditions or general aging.
Why Choose an Upright Walker with Wheels?
Commonly referred to as a “rollator walker”, the Troja upright walker is a mobility aid that helps those with mobility challenges maintain their independence longer and promotes quality of life by supporting the ability to move about more freely. Compared to a traditional walker, a rollator walker like the Troja from TOPRO offers the traditional support of a walker with the added usability features of forearm supports, ergonomic handles and a 2-mode braking system to assist with your movements. Several key benefits of this upright walker with wheels includes:
Wheels – versus a traditional 4 post walker, the inclusion of 4 rollator wheels provides users a more fluid and secure walking motion compared to having to stop and lift a traditional walker every few steps. Twelve ball bearings in the wheels and forks ensure smooth navigation of corners.
Armrests – unique to the Troja lightweight upright rollator walker, the forearms may rest while either traveling or resting. The underarm padding offers comforting support while in use.
Seat – while using your wheeled walker, it is common to need frequent rests while walking about indoors or outdoors. While the Troja upright walker is recommended for indoor use, the optional seat assists when needing a little break from traveling. Additionally, the forearm rests may now be used as arm rests while seated. The seat consists of a mesh fabric, which provides good visibility for walking if needing to look down (reminder- users should mainly be looking forward) and is breathable, comfortable, durable, and washable.
Braking System – the 2-mode braking system (driving and parking) promotes confidence and safety when using the Troja upright walker. When resting for more than a brief pause, sitting during longer use, or simply storing – the parking brake mode ensures safe use of the seat and secure transfer between walker and chair. The driving brake provides additional safety during walking or when slowing pace.
Size – with height adjustable handles to easily accommodate individual builds from 5’ to 6’1”, the Troja upright walker remains lightweight and easily fold when not in use or storing.
When selecting a rollator walker, keep in mind:
- The specifications related to sizing, width, and comfort meet your specific needs when choosing your wheeled walker.
- Key features such as ergonomic grips and height adjustment options of the handles to achieve your desired comfort.
- The braking system for accommodating use in traveling and when resting or storing.
- The warranty, which is an industry leading 7 years for the Troja walker, as well as the available support team. It is important to be able to talk or email someone should you have questions.
- The wheels and tires to support comfort in movement.
