Mobility aids at a glance
Types of mobility aids in this collection
The collection falls into five main groups, listed from the largest to the smallest.
Rollators
Rollators are the largest group in this range. A rollator is a four-wheel walker with hand brakes and a built-in seat for rest breaks. Many fold, and several have 8-inch (20 cm) wheels for outdoor paths. Bariatric models list 181 kg (400 lb). Compare every rollator or the wider rollators and walkers range.
Walkers, canes and crutches
Standard walkers give a wide, steady frame and fold flat for storage. These walking aids suit indoor use. Several models offer 5 or 7 height settings and optional wheels. Canes suit light balance needs, and some fold into a small seat. Aluminum crutches list 159 kg (350 lb). Browse canes and crutches for lighter support.
Mobility ramps
Portable ramps are designed to help with steps, thresholds, cars and vans. Aluminum folding ramps run from 0.6 m (2 ft) to 2.4 m (8 ft). Many list up to 272 kg (600 lb). Surfaces are textured for grip. See wheelchair ramps and mobility ramps.
Mobility scooters and accessories
Travel scooters fold for the trunk of a car, and four-wheel models add stability outdoors. Accessories such as baskets and covers fill out the group. Check seat, range and charging details on each page. Visit mobility scooters to compare.
Wheelchairs and transport chairs
Manual wheelchairs fold and include swing-away footrests. Electric wheelchairs list 150 to 159 kg (330 to 350 lb) capacities, and some fold for travel. Transport chairs are lighter chairs that a helper pushes. See wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs and transport chairs.
Check each product page for exact sizes, capacities and what is included.
How do you choose a mobility aid?
Match the aid to the need
Start with the main difficulty: balance, distance, fatigue or stairs. A cane helps with light balance needs. A walker adds stability. A rollator helps with longer walks. A physiotherapist can advise on the best fit.
Check weight capacity and width
Weight capacity is stated on every listing. Standard rollators here list 136 kg (300 lb), and bariatric models list 181 kg (400 lb). Compare seat width and doorway width too.
Check folded size
Folded size decides whether the aid fits a car trunk. Many models here fold flat. Check the folded dimensions on the product page, and lift the folded weight comfortably before you commit.
Match wheels to terrain
Wheels of 8 inches (20 cm) roll more easily over cracks, grass and gravel. Smaller wheels suit smooth indoor floors. Locking hand brakes should be easy to squeeze.
Set the right height
Handles should sit near wrist height when your arms hang at your sides. Several walkers here adjust in 5 to 7 steps, which makes the fit easy to set and change.
Where do mobility aids work best?
Homes are where most people use a cane, walker or transport chair. Hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms need narrow turns, so choose a frame that clears doorways. For bathroom gear, see bathroom and home safety.
Outdoor routes and travel suit rollators with larger wheels, folding scooters and portable ramps. A folding design stores in the trunk, and a ramp helps with curbs, steps and vehicle loading. Plan routes with level surfaces and rest points.
Recovery after an injury often calls for short-term crutches, a walker or a transport chair. Caregivers can use a helper-pushed chair for appointments and outings. Ask a healthcare provider which aid suits the stage of recovery.
How do you set up and care for a mobility aid?
Adjust the height before first use, and check that every lock clicks into place. Test the brakes, rubber tips and wheels each month, and wipe the frame clean. Charge powered items as the instructions say, and store them dry. Stop using any aid that wobbles or has a worn part.
Shipping and returns: Orders over $150 ship free across Canada, and delivery details show on each product page. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery for unused items in original packaging. See the refund policy.
Please note: These devices are designed to help with movement. They do not replace medical advice. Please talk with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist or doctor about which aid is right for you.
Mobility aid FAQs
What is a mobility aid?
A mobility aid is a device designed to help with walking difficulty, balance concerns or limited strength. Common examples include canes, walkers, rollators, wheelchairs and scooters. Ramps and bathroom aids also help with access at home.
What is the most common mobility aid?
Canes and walkers are among the most widely used aids. A cane helps with light balance needs, while a walker gives a wider base of support. Rollators add wheels, brakes and a seat for people who walk longer distances.
What is the best mobility aid for poor balance?
A walker or rollator is designed to give a wider base of support than a cane. The best choice depends on strength and brake control. A physiotherapist or occupational therapist can assess balance and recommend the right aid.
What is the difference between a walker and a rollator?
A standard walker has no wheels or two wheels and is lifted or pushed forward. A rollator has four wheels, hand brakes and usually a seat. Rollators suit longer walks, while walkers suit users who need a steadier frame.
Should I buy a mobility scooter or a wheelchair?
A mobility scooter suits people who can sit upright, steer and transfer safely, and who want longer outdoor range. A wheelchair suits those who need seating support or a helper to push. A healthcare provider can advise.
Can I get funding for mobility aids in Canada?
Some provinces offer assistive device programs, such as Ontario's Assistive Devices Program. Some extended health plans also help with costs. Rules and eligibility vary, so check with your province and insurer before you buy.
