Getting around
September 2003
Staying active is important at any age. For seniors, it can be a key to good physical and mental health. Not only that, the ability to stay mobile helps you stay connected to family and friends and to continue to enjoy your favorite activities.

Mobility assistance devices such as a cane or a rolling walker with a seat can give you the confidence and support you need to stay active. Now, a state of the art rolling walker is available. It comes with easy to use handbrakes, a padded seat with a backrest so you can stop and rest along the way, and a detachable nylon basket. The eight-inch wheels provide stability and let you navigate any type of terrain. Called Hugo, it weighs only 16.5 pounds and is easy to fold and store in a car trunk or closet. Available at Wal-Mart and walmart.com, the Hugo® may also be Medicare reimbursable.
