The Rehasense Navigator is an indoor forearm rollator built for people living with arthritis, Parkinson's disease, or any condition that makes gripping a standard handle difficult or painful. Where conventional rollators demand hand and wrist strength the user may no longer have, the Navigator transfers that load entirely to the forearms — delivering the same postural support, balance, and independence, without requiring a grip.
Inspired by Scandinavian design principles, the Navigator is the most clinically considered rollator in the Rehasense range, and the one that makes independent indoor living possible for users who have outgrown what standard rollators can offer.
Designed for those who need more than a standard rollator
Most rollators assume the user can grip, squeeze, and hold. For people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's tremors, or post-stroke weakness, that assumption quietly excludes them from the benefits that rollators provide.
The Navigator is built around fixed forearm supports — padded platforms that cradle the forearms and bear the user's weight through the arms rather than the hands. This single design difference opens rollator-assisted walking to a significantly wider group of users, and it changes the quality of that support entirely: the forearms are a far more stable and less pain-sensitive load-bearing surface than arthritic or weakened hands and wrists.
The forearm pads are horizontally angle-adjustable, allowing the supports to be positioned to suit the user's natural arm angle and posture — reducing strain and ensuring the weight is distributed correctly rather than falling awkwardly on one point.
Safety features engineered for confidence
The Navigator's braking system is designed specifically for users with reduced hand strength. The handbrake is easy to operate with minimal grip force, and includes a locking function — pressed down to engage a parking brake when the user is seated, reaching, or preparing to transfer.
Rehasense's patented Click & Safe catch is integrated into the frame, preventing the rollator from accidentally unfolding during storage, lifting, or transport. The Navigator also features a stand-alone function — the rollator remains stable and upright without being held, giving users a safe surface to push up from when rising from a chair or bed.
Handle height adjusts tool-free from 90 to 115 cm, accommodating a wide range of user heights and ensuring the forearms rest at the correct angle for maximum support and postural alignment. For optimal posture, the forearms should rest flat on the supports with the elbows slightly bent — the Navigator's generous adjustment range makes this achievable for most users.
All-round safety reflectors are integrated into the bag and frame for visibility in low-light conditions indoors.
Practical storage, thoughtfully placed
The Navigator's storage system is designed for real daily use without requiring bending, reaching, or fine motor control:
- A large removable shopping bag (5 kg capacity) with multiple pockets and an inner zip compartment — released by lifting the carry handles, reattached with a single downward press
- All storage positioned at a height accessible from the forearm supports without repositioning
The bag features reflective strips on the front panel and a spacious inner zip pocket for personal items, medication, or a phone.
Lightweight and CE certified
At 9.6 kg, the Navigator is heavier than the PIXEL and Space LX — a reflection of the additional forearm support structure — but remains manageable for home use and assisted transport. The aluminium frame supports a maximum load of 150 kg and carries full CE certification, meeting EU Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) requirements for medical devices.
Folded dimensions of 25 × 66 × 93 cm keep it compact enough for corridor storage and car transport when needed. The overall width of 63 cm passes comfortably through standard doorways.
The grey colourway is understated and home-appropriate — sitting quietly in a well-furnished interior without drawing attention to its clinical function.

FAQ Section
What is a forearm rollator and who is it for? A forearm rollator replaces standard handle grips with padded forearm supports, allowing the user to bear weight through their forearms rather than their hands and wrists. It is designed for people with arthritis, Parkinson's disease, post-stroke weakness, or any condition that makes gripping a conventional handle painful or difficult.
How is the Navigator different from the PIXEL and Space LX? The PIXEL and Space LX both use standard handle grips and are suited to users who can grip comfortably. The Navigator is designed specifically for users who cannot — the forearm support platform distributes load across the forearms entirely, making it a fundamentally different type of rollator for a different user need.
Can the forearm supports be adjusted? Yes. The forearm pads are horizontally angle-adjustable, allowing them to be positioned to match the user's natural arm angle and posture. The overall support height adjusts tool-free from 90 to 115 cm.
What is the stand-alone feature on the Navigator? The Navigator is designed to remain stable and upright on its own without being held. This is particularly useful for users who need a stable surface to push up from when rising from a seated position — a chair, a bed, or the rollator's own seat.
How do I operate the brakes with limited hand strength? The Navigator's handbrake is specifically designed to require minimal grip force to operate. Squeezing gradually slows movement; pressing the handles downward clicks the brake into a locked parking position, keeping the rollator stationary without requiring the user to maintain any hand pressure.
What is the weight limit for the Rehasense Navigator? The Navigator supports a maximum load of 150 kg, with full CE certification meeting EU medical device safety standards.
How do I fold the Rehasense Navigator? Release the Click & Safe catch, then fold the Flexi frame flat. The folded dimensions of 25 × 66 × 93 cm make it suitable for corridor storage and car boot transport.
