Boston - What causes someone to tip their walker forwards or backwards?
Many times, walker users in Boston practice poor walker safety and push up to stand
using the arms of their walker instead of wheelchair armrests or other seated
surface. This could cause them to tip their walker backwards, putting them at
an increased risk for a fall and becoming injured.
Balance disorders, weakness, pain caused by arthritis, poor walker safety
caused by compulsive behaviors or cognitive deficits, and dizziness are just
a few more of the many factors that could cause to lose them to tip their walker
over.
