As you walk behind the mower, holding onto the handle, the forward pressure on the handle engages the propulsion system, and only travels as fast as you move behind it. It also has an electric start system so that all you have to do is turn the key. I think TORO hit the mark with this unit, really nice!
Just how old is MOM???...and how big is the yard?

Unless this is some sort of PT...you might be better served finding a neighborhood kid to do the mowing...just a thought...

And if you are really dead-set on getting a mower, my DAD will sell you his, he was born in '21 and still races sailboats, but has given up yardwork...

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.
