I just used a wheeled-walker for the first time, and it is an absolute game-changer for me. My spine collapsed on the right side a few years ago (guard your spine while doing risky stuff folks), resulting in my torso being a bit crooked. That in turn has made walking excruciating on my right side. I normally use a wheelchair, but finally tried out an all-terrain walker today, and it felt like the injury was gone. 😃

Never heard of an “all-terrain walker” but I’m glad to hear that they exist.
More power to ya.
@corlin It's basically a standard seat included walker, but the wheels are bigger and are solid core.
The position of the handles forced my right-side up, matching my left, allowing all of the ligaments, muscles, and bones to work properly. I'm so excited! Today was really bad pain-wise - which meant walking more than 10ft couldn't happen. Since we were planting today, my wheelchair wasn't going to work. So I tried the walker my mom dropped off awhile ago, and was able to get outside and help with the planting! It went over dirt and gravel beautifully! Mobility assistance devices rock!
