If your doctor prescribes a rollator, your statutory health insurance will usually cover the cost of a standard model. You only pay the statutory co-payment of 10% of the price, with a minimum of €5 and a maximum of €10. This amount is waived if you are exempt from co-payments. For higher-quality models, you will have to cover any additional costs yourself. Our experts can help you select suitable models and check for potential subsidies.

A good rollator costs between €150 and €350. Basic models start at around €80, while premium models made of carbon fiber or with special comfort features start at €350 and go up from there. Investing in a high-quality rollator is a worthwhile long-term investment, similar to buying a bicycle, as lightweight materials, stability, and quality service significantly simplify everyday life.

Standard models at medical supply stores usually cost between €100 and €200. Premium models with a lightweight frame or special features can cost up to €700. If you have a prescription, the medical supply store will bill your health insurance company directly for the basic fee. You can also receive comprehensive advice online: A trained expert will deliver the rollator upon request, assemble it, and provide you with safe instructions. If the model isn't suitable, it will be picked up again immediately.

A rollator is also known as a walking aid, walking aid, or colloquially as a walking frame. In English-speaking countries, it is usually called a walker.

Rollator is spelled with a double L and a capital letter, as it is a noun. While terms like "walking aid" or "walking aid" may be used colloquially or in written texts, the correct technical term remains "rollator."

A walker is the English term for a walking aid in general. In Germany, "Rollator" refers to the wheeled version with brakes – a more advanced, comfortable form of the walker.

While a rollator offers safety and stability, incorrect use can lead to poor posture or restrict natural walking. Therefore, proper handle height adjustment and good posture while walking are crucial.

Alternatives include walking sticks, forearm crutches, wheeled walkers, or electric mobility aids such as scooters. The most suitable solution depends on mobility and the desired level of support. For longer distances or varying terrain, a rollator can often be the best option.

The rollator size is adjusted so that you stand upright, your shoulders and back remain relaxed, and your arms hang loosely at your sides with your wrists at the height of the handles. This ensures an upright posture while walking.

The rollator was developed in the 1970s by the Swede Aina Wifalk, who herself suffered from polio. She designed the aid to provide people with limited mobility with greater safety and independence. Today, the rollator is an established aid for seniors and people with mobility impairments worldwide.
