I used a "regular" walker when I fell and hurt my foot badly. It helped me to keep a lot of my weight off of that foot. It was my Dad's and I adjusted it a time or two but finally got it to where I needed it. Lift and go, lift and go, thank goodness for upper body strength. I used it for six weeks and then a cane worked O.K.

Now a cane when I'm out and about. When it got to the point where a rollator might work, I didn't use that because my balance isn't that great. But, those kind do come in quite handy for someone who can use them. Perhaps, in the future along with AFO's, one of those would work if I needed it.

I can see where it would be handy to have one on every level for sure. And, insurance varies as to what they would pay for or help pay for.
