Living after a CVA
A CVA, Cerebro Vascular Accident, is a stroke. After a stroke, life often looks very different. Suddenly being unable to walk or talk, which is an acute phenomenon, has a considerable impact on the quality of life. To reduce the risk of a second stroke, exercise is important. To support the rehabilitation and the movement in daily life, a rollator is a godsend.
Rehabilitation after a CVA
Keep moving
The damage caused by a CVA is often severe and permanent. It is therefore not surprising that the average rehabilitation period of a stroke patient is six months. During this period, the focus is on sitting, standing and walking, among other things. To support these exercises and to provide stability, a rollator is a useful walking aid. The support provided by a rollator reduces the risk of a fall, making you less anxious when doing the exercises or taking a walk.
After the rehabilitation period, a rollator may be needed for indoor or outdoor walking. This is to provide the user with support, security, or a place to sit along the way. Find out which rollators are available that meet your needs so you can keep on doing your daily activities.

Moving after a stroke
Physical and mental benefits
To reduce the risk of a second CVA, but also to stay physically and mentally on your feet, exercise makes a big contribution. Exercise or sport makes for supple and strong muscles, a better breathing system and blood circulation, but it also has a positive effect on blood pressure and sugar and cholesterol levels. As well as reducing the risk of a second CVA, this also ensures a longer life and a better quality of life. All the advantages of staying in motion! Regular moderate exercise, such as walking, can greatly improve fitness.
A rollator as an aid
Before and after CVA
A rollator is a useful aid during physiotherapy exercises or during your daily walk. But walking with a rollator also reduces the chance of a fall. When dizziness or an imbalance occurs, one can immediately lean on the rollator. The rollator contributes to a stable gait and also to fewer falls. It gives the person more self-confidence.
The Rollz Flex is a rollator with a large bag, which can hold a lot of stuff. You can also sit on the seat while walking.
If you get tired during a walk, it is recommended to buy a rollator and wheelchair in one. The Rollz Motion is suitable for this purpose, this rollator is very sturdy and can be transformed into a comfortable wheelchair very quickly and easily.
The Rollz Motion Performance has the same functionalities, but also has pneumatic tyres for extra comfort.

Walking outdoors with a rollator
If you are a newcomer to walking with a rollator, you should better ask someone to help when going outdoors for the first time. In doing so you can practice guided and be more confident while taking your first steps.
