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.

  • Walking again…

    Since buying my veloped I have been able to walk around my village and walk to my freinds again. By taking off both front and back wheels it even fits into my sports car so I can take it out for days out. It has given me a new lease of life. I only w…

  • Absolutely love my new Trionic 4 wheel……

    It’s so easy to walk with, the 14inch wheels are great for the smaller curbs.
    I like the way that the two front wheels are always together, it makes a huge difference.
    I would certainly recommend this product.

  • Very good quality…

    Expensive but worth the quality of life it brings. As opposed to an ordinary walker. The first day I walked 5 miles around an indoor shopping mall. I was tired at the end of it. But something I could never have done before. I have used it on rough gr…

  • Freedom with safety…

  • No problems at the beach…

    I have always been fit and healthy until 2 years ago. An accident at work put an end to that. I now have an inexplicable pain in my leg and back that makes walking almost impossible. After using some granny walkers, Trionic came up via Google. I had …

    Dear Mr. Kindberg,

    we are extremely satisfied with the Veloped Sport 12er L. My husband feels very safe when he walks despite his difficulties in walking and standing. However, he still must diligently practise handling it.
    The delivery also went…

  • Enthusiasm on 3... 4 wheels ;-)…

    I am also an enthusiastic user of Veloped Sport.
    Due to cancer, I had to rely on a mobility aid very early on. I also got a dog for mental and physical support. For both of us to be able to walk not only in the village but above all in nature, it w…
