Ergonomic Rollator Grips

Best grips for walkers and rollators

Ergonomic rollator grips help to promote safety and comfort when you are using your rollator. Proper grips prevent your hands from sliding and minimize the load and shock on your hands, arms and upper body. The key is to choose the grips best suited to your hand size.

What to consider when buying walker/rollator hand grips

When you get a conventional walker, it will usually have plastic rollator grips. However, plastic does not offer comfort, and your hands can slide when walking, increasing the risk of falls.

Rollator grip materials

Hand grips on conventional rollators are often made with just one material, while the handgrips on the Trionic rollators and walkers use at least two different materials. The reason for this is added safety and comfort. The part of the grip you put your weight on needs to be made from a material with more friction, whilst the underside is made of a more grip-friendly rubber. The rubber design ensures the handles on your walker prevent slippage.

Rollator grip patterns

Users with poor grip strength need to consider rollator grips with a better pattern or texture. Trionic's Walker and Velopeds offer grips on your walker, and make sure you have handles that are easy to hold onto when you are out walking. Every detail on your walker is important for your own safety. 

Rollator grip gauge

We offer grips with varying gauge. Our rollator grips are smaller at the end closest to the brake lever and then thicker on the end of the grip to alleviate your hands when walking. Ergonomic grips with a varying gauge, following the natural shape of your palm, outperform single-gauge grips as they do not follow your hand and do not offer a relieving surface for supporting the full weight you need to put on your rollator when you are out walking.
