Considerations

There are a few drawbacks with a 3- versus 4-wheeled walker. When choosing the three-wheeled option, you might find the following drawbacks:
* Less stable: Inherently, the three wheel design is less stable than the four wheel option. A lack of a fourth wheel may not work well for a person that puts extreme weight on their walker or has severe balance issues.
* No seat: Another issue may also be experienced if you have a walker with a built-in seat. More people are using the seated option on their walker, which allows for a much-needed rest after a long walk. Most three-wheel walkers do not have that option.

If this sounds like you, discuss your options with a physiotherapist.

Please consider the maximum weight that the walker can bear if you need significant help with walking.

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate.

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
