How to Make a Merry Walker More Comfortable

The Merry Walker Corporation makes walkers from black, powder-coated steel. All products produced by the Merry Walker Corporation are latex free. This ensures that any latex allergies will not be aggravated. All walkers are weighted on the bottom to prevent dangerous tipping. Seats are covered with foam padding and a black acrylic fabric. Although the Merry Walker Corporation does everything it can to provide the most comfortable walker possible there are a few things you can do at home to further promote comfort.

Instructions

• 1

  Adjust the handles to the appropriate height. Stand with your arms at your side and move the handles even with the height of your wrists. Proper height positioning is crucial to comfort because it assists with posture.

• 2

  Add hand grips. There are several varieties of hand grips available to purchase. They wrap around the hand placement areas of the walker to add additional padding, protect your hand during use, and help improve your grip.

• 3

  Attach walker skis to the feet of the walker. Walker skis are small plastic caps with flat bottoms that help the walker to glide more smoothly over surfaces. Insert the end of the walker into the walker ski and apply a small amount of pressure to attach the ski to the walker.

• 4

  Attach a tote bag. Walker totes attach to the walker using Velcro straps. Tote bags help you carry small items such as a wallet or book without using your hands.
