Maintenance Guidelines for Your Walker
To ensure that your walker remains in optimal condition and serves you efficiently, especially during the crucial recovery period post hip-replacement surgery, regular maintenance is vital. Here are the guidelines to help maintain your walker:
Regular Inspections
- Structural Integrity: Frequently inspect for signs of wear or damage to the aluminum frame and steel cross brace, ensuring that the walker is stable and safe to use
- Wheels and Glides: Check the condition of the wheels and the Hipster rear glides periodically, ensuring they function smoothly and replace them if signs of wear are evident
- Grip and Release Mechanisms: Evaluate the condition of the hand grips and the dual release buttons to ensure they function correctly and are comfortable to use
Cleaning and Hygiene
- General Cleaning: Maintain the cleanliness of your walker by wiping it down with a damp cloth mixed with a mild detergent, focusing on hand grips and other frequently touched areas.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, especially for the hand grips, consider using a suitable disinfectant to prevent the buildup of bacteria and germs.
