Product Information

If the frame is too high, you may find it difficult to straighten your elbows sufficiently and may not take enough body weight through your arms This style of walking equipment offers the user additional postural support for gait training and rehabilitation. Pressure brakesThese are operated by downward pressure on a spring-loaded frame. This causes the motion of the rear wheels to be interrupted when the user is leaning on the frame. However, they may not be suitable for users who cannot push down heavily enough on the frame or for heavier users who may apply the brakes permanently

These are also called 'gutter frames' and have forearm troughs or gutters which allow you to bear weight through your forearms rather than your hands. Thus gutter frames may be considered if you have arthritis in your hands or have broken your hand or wrist. Consider the size of the frame base if it is going to be used in a domestic setting, as some may be too wide to go through small doorways. Frames with four legs that are spread widely apart will be the most stable but may be difficult to get through doorways. If the doorway is particularly narrow, the user may have to walk through sideways. Narrow four-legged frames are available, but are not as stable. Small solid wheels or castors are really only suitable for use indoors and may require more effort to push over deep pile carpet or carpet bars than larger wheels.One large and one small compartment means you can separate items like glasses, keys, medications and TV remotes. The removable tray doubles up as a lid to keep your other items safe and secure. The shape of the tray also stops plates from sliding dangerously while you walk, with a mug holder to hold drinks in place. Important Note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb. These frames should not be used for people who put significant weight through the frame, as the frame can unintentionally move forward with a pushing down/forward movement. They can also be hazardous to individuals with a Parkinsonian gait (characterised by small shuffling steps which accelerate) so consult with your healthcare professional. Manufactured from tough, durable plastic, it can be cleaned in a dishwasher and has drainage holes for easy drying. the frame is pushed with the rear ferrules lifted fractionally off the ground or they are allowed to glide across the floor surface, allowing the person to adopt a more fluent walking pattern

Ideal for running errands, attending social events, or exploring town, this caddy offers a secure solution for carrying daily necessities without extra assistance. Enjoy the freedom to move at your own pace and the confidence that your items will stay safe and out of sight. Experience the independence of navigating life without anyone carrying your essentials.Maximum carrying weight 2kg.The Caddy tray is shaped to securely hold a plate in place without the risk of it sliding as you walk. The tray is also easy to remove, allowing you to pop it on your lap when sitting down and eating dinner. Remove all loose rugs, trailing flexes and clutter from the floor. Keep your access routes around the house clear at all times Frames with castors that swivel may be more manoeuvrable, but fixed wheels can help to make it easier to walk in a straight line. Larger wheels are more suitable for uneven/outdoor terrain. Some studies have suggested that four wheeled walkers are more stable than three wheeled. To ensure that the appropriate device is selected, your needs, your lifestyle and your home environment should be assessed. These have a metal spike which provides a firm grip on snow and ice. The spike can be flipped up and down when not needed.

A folding frame can easily be stored within the home if it does not need to be used all the time. It also makes it easier to transport in a car boot. Folding frames with four legs have hinged sides, which can be folded flat against the front of the frame when catches are released. These frames are hinged so that each side can be alternately placed forwards with each step to give a reciprocal action. They will go through tighter spaces than standard frames. These have a single or double shaft, the height and the distance between the handgrip and the axilla pad are adjustable.Equipment that is height adjustable can show signs of stress at the height setting after prolonged use. Handgrips can also become worn. Although certain handgrips can be replaced, they are less easy to obtain. It may be easier to replace the whole walking aid.
