Product Information

Manufactured from a tough, durable plastic it can be cleaned in a dishwasher and has drainage holes, for easy drying. If you are experiencing difficulties whilst walking, you feel insecure, or you have fallen, you are advised to see your GP initially. There may be an undiagnosed reason for your mobility problems. If there is, it is important that any illness, whether temporary or longer-term, is identified and treated where possible. Your GP will be able to refer you for a physiotherapy assessment if required, or you can organise a private assessment for yourself.

We have rooms available for you to book – our assessment room and meeting room can both be booked using the room booking form on IRIS. If you do wish to book, please liaise with our clinical team about availability prior to completing the form. Your gait - the manner in which you walk. How is your balance, your strength and ability to weight-bear?

There are a variety of catch mechanisms available to allow the frame to fold. You are advised to make sure you can operate the catch easily before you buy. It is suggested that some users often find it difficult to fold frames with press-button releases or levers.

alternatively, it is used like a non-mobile pulpit frame, except that the frame does not have to be lifted up to move it forwards - the person pushes it instead. This frame is held stationary while the user steps forwards. Fixed height or adjustable height versions are available. Some are provided with a plastic, storage wallet.TEC can help people with lots of different needs, in a lot of different ways. New technology and ways to use it are always being introduced to market and in many cases we may be able to help clients use technology they already have. HandgripsMost standard walking frames have either moulded plastic or foam rubber handgrips. However, someone with weak or painful hands or wrists will find it uncomfortable to push down on these. Alternatives are available. A few mobile frames are available with contoured, anatomically shaped handgrips which are designed to spread the weight over a wider area of the palm. The walking frame caddy has one large and one small compartment to allow the user to separate items such as glasses, keys, medication etc. Also supplied with a tray, that is designed to safely transport a plate of food, also supplied is a mug holder, which catches any spillages.

Wheeled frames are usually chosen over non-wheeled frames when balance, instead of reduced weight-bearing ability, is the main concern. They are also useful for people who find it difficult to use a traditional frame as they make a more continuous walking pattern possible, and do not need to be lifted clear off the ground to move forwards. The wheels on these frames do not pivot around a corner, so the frame needs to be lifted when turning.

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.
