What is a "walker"?

A walker is a medical device used to help individuals with movement issues, providing support and stability while walking. It typically includes a lightweight, metal frame with four legs that provide balance and support. Walkers often have adjustable handles and rubber tips on the legs to prevent slipping. Some models may have wheels at the ends of the legs for easier movement. Walkers are used by people who have difficulty walking on their own because of injury, surgery, weakness, or balance problems.
