Hello! How can we help you?

Why do my hands hurt when walking with a rollator?

The hands bolster a large part of the upper body weight onto the grips of a rollator. Thus there is constant and high pressure on a small area causing nerves to be irritated. It is also common that many rollator users bend their wrists too much. The result is sensory loss, tingling, numbness or abnormal sensations in the little finger and ring finger (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). In extreme cases, even the grasping function of all fingers is limited.

Adjustable grip angle

The handles on Trionic's products are angle-adjustable which makes it easy for you to find your ideal hand position in order to relieve your wrists. Through the Ergon grip’s 'wing' construction, the hand is fully supported and the wrist is automatically put in an ergonomically ideal position (left photo below).

Choose the right Grip Size

As the hand size is different from person to person, Trionic offers the Ergon GP1 grips in two sizes – Small that corresponds to glove size 6.5-8.5, and Large that corresponds to glove size 8.5-12.0. The difference lies in the diameter of the grip. A larger hand is better able to grip a larger grip with less stress and effort, whilst a smaller hand needs a smaller grip to allow the hand to close around it. But of course, grip size also comes down to personal preference.

    The Veloped Trek has enabled me to visit the beach regularly- something I hadn’t been able to do for a long time. I have also been to an outdoor festival and was able to travel around the fields to see the stalls and the bands in the music tents. T…

    Hi,
    I just got back from a walk here in Sundsvall close to the new E4 bridge by the bay.
    The bridge won't be finished until 2014, so here there are temporary dirt roads mixed with paved segments. The Veloped worked just perfectly. I was out 45 minu…

  • Great product…

    This is my 2nd Trionic rollator. Bought my 1st in 7/2018, a 12er. Decided I needed to stand taller, as I’m 6’3”, and the larger wheels of the 14er makes it a bit taller, plus they take the outdoor bumps and obstacles a little bit better than the 12 …

  • A WONDERFUL PURCHASE…

    In common with one of your other reviewers, I suffer from peripheral neuropathy, resulting in a severe loss of sense of balance. Since the delivery of the Walker 12er several weeks ago my life has improved immensely. I now find that walking, which I …

  • Very good choice for a disabled girl, almost 9 years old...!…

    We bought the Trionic Veloped to our daughter. She is nine years old this summer so Veloped is not really suited for her size yet. But, we still think it works very well in terrain and that was exactly what we were searching, for such a long time!

  • Anne Mears…

    I love the fact that I can walk in the countryside again and not be fazed by rough terrains like large gravel, grass paths and uneven surfaces. It means I can get away from cars and houses and surround myself with greenery. This lifts my spirits and …
