Drive Medical Winnie Walker, Mimi Lite Push Brake Rollator Questions & Answers
What determines whether you need a walker?
I am not sure if your trying to get it on insurance but the same reasons Medicare will pay for one should also apply to whether or not the need is there.
If you can honestly say all that is listed below applies to you then you medically need one.
1) The patient has a mobility limitation that significantly impairs his/her ability to participate in one or more mobility-related activities of daily living (MRADL) in the home.
- A mobility limitation is one that:
a) Prevents the patient from accomplishing the MRADL entirely, or
b) Places the patient at reasonably determined heightened risk of morbidity or mortality secondary to the attempts to perform the MRADL, or
c) Prevents the patient from completing the MRADL within a reasonable time frame;
and
2) The patient is able to safely use the walker; and
3) The functional mobility deficit can be sufficiently resolved with use of a walker.
If all of the criteria are not met, the walker will be denied as not medically necessary. These are not my words but come from here

Basically if you can pass what Medicare considers medically necessary then that answers your question. Hope this helps.
How to adjust brakes
Hi.can you tell me how to ajust front calipers on BA Falcon on 2003 6 cyl. thanks.
Brakes will not lock in parking position
There are adjusters on the brake cables that are designed to solve this problem. The cables for the brakes run inside a flexible housing. When you squeeze the handle, the cable should engage the brake. The problem is that the cables inside the housing stretch over time and do not work as well. There is a threaded adjuster at the handle where the housing of the cable goes into the handle. If you turn this adjuster counterclockwise it will, in effect, make the housing longer and the brake cable tighter (shorter). This should engage the brakes better. It make take some trial and error, turning the threaded adjusters clockwise and counter-clockwise to get the proper setting for your strength and comfort. This same adjustment technique applies when you pull the handles down in the park position and when you squeeze them to slow down. Hope this helps.
