Upright walkers are medical devices designed to support people suffering from locomotor disabilities, elderly people, who have difficulty maintaining their balance and cannot move safely without a support, or without the help of another people, as well as people recovering from accidents or surgery, who are weak, reduced body resistance and no physical condition necessary to move without help.
The range of orthopedic upright walkers includes: the standard walker with four non-wheeled legs and handlebars at the top, but also the 2-wheel 3-wheel or 4-wheel rollators.
Upright walkers provide great support for older people, giving them the possibility to move alone, enjoying their independence. At the same time they are very helpful in the recovery treatment, helping to re-educate the locomotor functions and capacities.
An upright walker is an orthopedic device that weighs only a few kilograms, is foldable and easy to carry. Due to its resistant structure made of aluminum or steel, its frame can support a user weight up to 100 kilograms and can be used indoors and/ or outdoors, in wet and/or dry weather and regardless of the air temperature.
These medical devices have support handles that can be adapted according to the characteristics of the user and a bench that can be used to rest. Look to places such as https://simplyrenting.com/ for upright walkers and many other medical devices.
