Margaret is blind and has a “combination trolley walker” on which she keeps the things she needs on a daily basis to hand, but it had conventional rollator handles that didn’t provide the level of support and stability she needed when walking around the house.
The lady had suffered from sepsis and, as a consequence, had lost both hands and both feet.
