[Blind-rollers] question

[Lucasey, Dawn]

There is a walker that requires only one hand, it has the two regular hand holds and a third coming out in the middle of the walker.  It was originally designed for persons with hemiplegia. You could conceivably hold the walker with one hand and your cane with the other.  If you are getting really unsteady this walker will not provide enough support. All that being said, As I am not a mobility specialist I am not sure if you would be able to use your cane properly with the walker frame, of any walker, in front of your body.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to use a walker and a caneto see
where you are going?   My balance has gotten worse and I want to try a
walkker but don't' know how to go about it.  I don't want to use a chair until I have to.
