Knee walkers feature a padded platform to rest your injured leg while allowing you to propel yourself forward with the other leg. With four wheels for stability and easy maneuverability, they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Many models include adjustable handlebars, brakes for added safety, and foldable designs for convenient storage and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions About Knee Walkers
What is the difference between a walker and a rollator?
Standard walkers have no wheels and must be lifted to move, providing maximum stability. Rollators have wheels (3 or 4), brakes, and usually a seat, allowing for easier mobility but slightly less stability. Choice depends on balance needs and endurance.
Are walkers and rollators covered by ADP?
Yes, walkers and rollators are covered under Ontario's ADP program for eligible individuals. Coverage is typically 75% of the approved amount. Westin Healthcare processes ADP applications and carries a wide selection of ADP-approved walking aids.
What height should my walker or rollator be?
The handles should be at wrist height when standing upright with arms relaxed at your sides. Most walkers and rollators are height-adjustable. Westin Healthcare staff can properly fit your walking aid during purchase or showroom visit.
What accessories are available for rollators?
Popular rollator accessories include baskets, cup holders, trays, cane holders, and oxygen tank holders. Westin Healthcare stocks accessories compatible with major rollator brands to customize your walking aid.
Can I use a rollator outdoors?
Yes, but choose the right type. 4-wheel rollators with larger wheels (8 inches or more) handle outdoor terrain better. Heavy-duty rollators are designed specifically for outdoor use with robust tires and higher weight capacities.
What is the ADP (Assistive Devices Program)?
The Assistive Devices Program is an Ontario government program that helps people with long-term physical disabilities pay for customized equipment. ADP covers up to 75% of the cost of approved devices like wheelchairs, scooters, hospital beds, and patient lifts.
Is Westin Healthcare an authorized ADP vendor?
Yes, Westin Healthcare is a fully authorized ADP vendor in Ontario. We handle all ADP paperwork, coordinate assessments, and ensure you receive the maximum funding available. We also work with ODSP, WSIB, Veterans Affairs, and private insurance.
What equipment is covered by ADP?
ADP covers mobility aids (wheelchairs, scooters, walkers), patient lifts, hospital beds, therapeutic mattresses, communication devices, and other assistive technology. Each category has specific approval criteria. Contact Westin Healthcare to confirm coverage for your needed equipment.
How do I apply for ADP funding?
As an authorized ADP vendor, Westin Healthcare handles the entire application process. We coordinate with your healthcare provider for the required assessment, submit paperwork to ADP, and process your equipment order once approved. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
