People with ankylosing spondylitis who experience significant mobility impairments may need to rely on a rollator or wheelchair. For instance:

- Rollators: These are ideal for those who need balance assistance but can still walk with support. They are more maneuverable than standard walkers and often come with a seat for resting.
- Wheelchairs: These are suitable for individuals who have difficulty walking longer distances or standing for extended periods. They can be manual or powered, depending on the user's upper-body strength and mobility needs.

One MySpondylitisTeam member mentioned they could no longer take more than two or three steps and must rely on a cane or rollator. Another member shared how a wheelchair allowed them to maintain independence and manage fatigue better.
