The U-Step Walker with Standard Platform Arms Attachments combines the leading-edge features of the U-Step 2 Walker with adjustable arm platforms in place of standard handlebars. It provides superior stability, control, and maneuverability and is ideal for individuals who have had a stroke or brain injury, have a weak upper body, or tend to walk with a stooped posture.
Reversed Braking System: The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control. The walker will not roll until you lightly squeeze either hand brake. Once you release the hand brake, the unit stops immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the walker will not roll away from you.
Rolling Resistance Control: Unlike other rolling walkers, the U-Step allows you to adjust the rolling speed. The adjustable rolling resistance helps provide greater control for individuals who find that traditional wheeled walkers move too quickly. Simply adjust the resistance lever to the desired level.
Spring-Loaded Front Wheel: The patented spring-loaded front caster system glides easily over uneven surfaces, including indoor molding strips and cracks in sidewalks. This helps reduce sudden jolts and eliminates the need to lift the walker over small obstacles.
Adjustable Forearm Platforms: Stand more upright with your forearms comfortably supported by padded platforms. The platforms are highly adjustable for optimal positioning and can be rotated inward and angled up or down. They are particularly useful for individuals with a weak upper body, stooped posture, stroke, or brain injury.
Laser and Sound Cueing Module: An optional cueing module is available for individuals with Parkinson's freezing or an irregular gait pattern. The module can help users get started, normalize walking, and increase stride. A bright red laser line can be projected onto the floor to help guide steps, while an optional sound feature provides a beat pattern for walking speed.
