(lifepr) (Selsingen, 03.09.2013) People who suffer from backache often look for back-friendly everyday products with an ergonomic design. Following mattresses, shoes, bikes, the Campaign for Healthier Backs AGR has now awarded its seal of approval to a rollator - the "Troja 2G" by TOPRO.

Keep moving!

Senior citizens should always try to remain active to avoid the vicious circle of impaired mobility and the resulting lack of exercise. But the fact is that self-confidence and independence clearly diminish as we get older. This is precisely where TOPRO's holistic approach comes in. The rollators offer their users a high degree of safety and convenience. This in turn motivates them to go for regular walks or excursions, thus sustainably promoting spinal health.

Safe and convenient in everyday situations

The tested rollator "Troja 2G" fulfils the high demands made by an independent committee of medical and therapeutic experts and was therefore given the accolade of being "particularly back-friendly". Among others, the following criteria played a decisive role in the certification process:

• Low own weight of less than 8 kg
• Easy to collapse and carry
• Individual height adjustment with memory function
• Ergonomically designed handles, permitting different holding positions
• Possibility of sitting safely in a back-friendly seat
• Back strap for the rollator seat
• Tipping aid for coping with kerbstones
• Possibly special tyres for different surfaces, two independent brakes and a parking brake

Rollators that fulfil these criteria are an indispensable, back-friendly everyday aid for their user. Most cases of acute backache can be alleviated by going for a walk every day. If you need a rollator, always ensure that it is adjusted correctly. A memory function is a great help here. Other TOPRO products with the seal of approval are the "Troja UA" and the Taurus mobility aids and walkers for use in the clinic.
