U-Step 2 walker

Details & Specs for U-Step 2 walker

The U-Step 2 walking Stabilizer was designed to increase independence and eliminate falling among those with neurological conditions.  The leading-edge features of the U-Step 2, as compared to other walking aids, make it superior by providing more stability, maneuverability and control.  Tens of thousands of people with neurological conditions have benefited from the U-Step 2 design.  In recent years, a major development project to improve the U-Step 2 design was undertaken incorporating all the advantages of the original design with improvements to further address the walking challenges of those with neurological conditions.  

Regularly prescribed by physicians and physical and occupational therapists from leading hospitals and rehabilitation centers, and covered by some insurances, the U-Step 2 has been tested and proved to be beneficial for patients with various neurological conditions, including:  Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Ataxia, Stroke, brain injuries, balance disorders, ALS, PSP/MSA.

STABILITY:  The patented U-shaped base, is ultra-stable.  It surrounds you and braces you in every direction from falling.  You feel as stable as you would feel  holding onto another person's arm.  Other walkers only partially brace you from falling.

MANEUVERABILITY:  By placing the main turning wheels towards the middle of the base, as opposed to the rear as in other rolling  walkers, the U-Step 2 turns around in 29 inches as compared to 50 inches for most other advanced walkers.  This will alow you to turn in tight indoor areas, such as washrooms, kitchens and hallways.  At 23 inches wide, you can easily walk through narrow doorways.

CONTROL:  The advance control features play an important role in the security that the U-Step provides you.  The reversed braking system and the rolling resistance control explained inside are exclusive to the U-Step 2 and put you in complete control.
