Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a walker and rollator?
A walker has no wheels and must be lifted with each step, providing maximum stability. A rollator has wheels, hand brakes, and usually a seat for resting. Rollators are easier to move but require more balance. We can help you choose the right one.
Does ADP cover walkers and rollators?
Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor: we check what ADP and other programs may cover and show your share first. We prepare the quote and vendor section.
How do I choose the right walker height?
The walker handles should be at wrist height when standing with arms relaxed at your sides. Most walkers are adjustable. Proper height prevents hunching or reaching, reducing strain on your back and shoulders. We measure and adjust during delivery.
What is a knee walker or knee scooter?
A knee walker is an alternative to crutches for foot or ankle injuries. You rest your injured leg on a padded platform and push with your good leg. It provides better stability and mobility than crutches during recovery from surgery or fractures.
Can I use a rollator outdoors?
Yes, many rollators are designed for outdoor use with larger wheels (8 inches or more) for handling sidewalk cracks and uneven surfaces. Look for rollators with pneumatic tires and sturdy frames for best outdoor performance.
Do rollators fold for transport?
Yes, most rollators fold for easy transport and storage. Side-folding rollators are compact for car trunks. Some ultra-light models weigh under 15 lbs. We can demonstrate folding mechanisms to ensure you can manage it independently.
What accessories are available for walkers and rollators?
Popular accessories include baskets, trays, cup holders, cane holders, oxygen tank holders, and seat cushions. Some rollators have built-in seats with storage underneath. We can customize your walker or rollator to fit your lifestyle.
Is there an income limit for ADP?
No. ADP has no income test: Ontario residents with a valid health card and a qualifying long-term physical disability may be eligible. Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor: we check what ADP and other programs may cover and show your share first.
How often can I get new equipment through ADP?
ADP sets a usage period for each device type; for example, a wheelchair is usually replaced no sooner than every five years. After the usage period you may qualify for a replacement if you still need the device, and sooner if your needs change significantly.
Can I upgrade my ADP equipment?
Yes. You can choose features beyond what ADP approves and pay the difference. You pay your share plus the cost of any upgrades, and we show you both before anything is ordered.
What documents do I need for ADP application?
You need a valid Ontario health card and an assessment by an ADP authorizer (usually an occupational or physical therapist). The application has sections for you, for the authorizer and for us as the ADP registered vendor; your authorizer will tell you if a physician also needs to sign. We guide you through gathering everything.
