A lot of people who, due to their mobility issues, try to get around with a conventional walker or rollator have noticed how difficult it can be. A curb or even a threshold can be an insurmountable obstacle, and a gravel path, lawn or sandy beach is hopeless. Getting out into nature can be more or less impossible.
