Caring for others is integral to the fabric of Canadian society. The Able Walker arose from this concern for our fellow beings and is a perfect example of necessity being the mother of invention.

Norman Rolston invented his Able Walker in 1986 to help his aunt, whose mobility was limited by arthritis. His Able Walker has helped millions of people gain new mobility, restored their independence and improved their quality of life. The Los Angeles Times voted the Able Walker one of the “Top Ten International Inventions of the 1990s.”
