What kind of aluminium alloy elderly walker is suitable for what occasion?

Some aluminium alloy elderly walker are suitable for indoor use, while others are suitable for outdoor use. General walkers are made of light metal for easy lifting, but there are also heavy ones that require wheels for easy implementation.
