A member asked:
I have to have an insertible cardiac monitor where i won't be able to have mris. can i use walker near it also can i use one of the recliners that up?

Implantable monitor: The MRI causes problems with the metallic object in the body because of the strong magnetic field. The walker and the recliner aren't in the same magnetic field league. As such no problem with their use in a patient with a metallic device implant.
