Why we know this works!
We love this upright walker because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see how many people end up folded forward over a standard rollator, finishing every walk with an aching back and sore wrists. Do upright walkers really help with posture? Yes: the padded forearm rests raise your support up to elbow height, so you stand tall and put weight through your forearms instead of your wrists, and the hand brakes and built-in seat let you lock the wheels and rest safely on longer outings. At 20 pounds it is light enough to fit in a trunk for errands and family outings.
This is especially important for people with chronic back or wrist pain, a forward hunched posture, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's. Any four-wheeled walker moves quickly and requires enough hand strength to squeeze the brakes, so if you need to lean heavily just to stay upright, the Folding Front Wheeled Walker is the safer choice.
