Hello! How can we help you?

How do I determine the right grip height of my rollator?

Setting the right height of your rollator should be one of the first things to consider before you start using the rollator. It is important to adjust the handles correctly to ensure good posture while walking.


You can determine the correct grip height by doing as follows, as recommended by all physiotherapists and all rollator manufacturers:

  1. Stand upright next to your Veloped, with your back as straight as possible, with your shoes on and with your arms hanging in a relaxed state along your body (elbow slightly bent).
  2. Measure the vertical distance from the floor to your wrist bone = recommended grip height.

With the grips at wrist height, as strongly recommended:

  1. You do not have to raise your shoulders, and you can unload a greater part of your body weight.
  2. You can walk closer to the handgrips, which results in a more upright body posture.
  3. The weight you put on the grips is distributed vertically/downwards = better weight distribution = good stability = better brake performance when walking downhill on the loose ground (the tyres do not slide when braking).


Are the rollator grips set too high or too low?

Handles that are too high are not comfortable while walking as it requires more strength to support yourself, and can also cause neck pain. It can also cause you to walk too far away from the rollator and therefore not provide you with the needed walking support.

Handles are too low, this may cause you to walk bent over behind the rollator leaning onto the grips with an incorrect posture. The posture causes a lot of stress on the neck, shoulders and back. Long-time usage may cause severe pain.

  • Easier, more daily fun…

    They have really thought of the user! Everything is well thought out and with my Veloped, I dare to get out socially and not opt out of some activities. Safer, happier, which also means I need less help from people around me! Highly recommended!…

  • I am very pleased with it.…

    I recently bought a Walker 12er, and after using it for several weeks I can tell you that I am very pleased with it. The walker feels so much more stable than my previous one and is certainly more comfortable to use due to the large wheels with the i…

  • Great product…

    I have the Walker 14er and love it for walking the dog as it goes anywhere. Bought this one to use when I go out shopping, etc. and am so pleased with it as I feel much safer when I use it. I do find it a little bit heavy but thoroughly recommend it…

  • Life-quality…

    With the Veloped, I have gained in Life-quality. It allows me more freedom of movement without joint pain and gives me much more confidence than a conventional walker. I can walk in the woods again, go to the beach and finally go again with my feet i…

  • Walking out is FUN again !!…

    A beautifully designed and engineered product, and being so robust gives so much more confidence in comparison to lesser competitors. After a few months of lockdown, I can now get the exercise I need - and really enjoying it.

    Thank You for such an…

    Very well constructed! Manoeuvrable, good for off-road use, easy to put in the car. Only favourable weather can't be arranged, but spring is coming.
    Many greetings!

  • Fits perfectly…

    The pump fits the tyres perfectly and inflates them with minimal effort.

    Folded up, the pump can be stored in any backpack or can be attached directly to the Veloped with the supplied material. In this case, it is not the pump that is attached, b…

  • NOT like an old device…

    I'm extremely happy with the Sport Rollator. I use it for roller skating near our canal, and it works great. I haven't roller skated in 10 years and have the rollator as a safety feature for support.
    And the device doesn't look like a piece of equip…

  • Finally one that does what it should.…

    I now own three rollators. This is my first one from Trionic. The first rollator from another company sounded like clanging metal as I walked along. It also got caught on all the broken pavements where I live and was therefore unstable. The second on…
