When it comes to mobility, different environments have different requirements. You may be fine walking around the house but when you venture outside uneven surfaces, slopes, and steps suddenly make everything different.
It is normal for people to use a mobility aid only when required. This may mean a walking cane when outdoors but mobilizing independently indoors.
Alternatively, those who use a cane indoors may feel safer with a walking frame when outdoors or in unfamiliar environments. The most important thing is that if you need an aid, choose the appropriate elderly mobility aid for your current level of function and the location you will be walking in.
