Product Information

Manufactured from a tough, durable plastic it can be cleaned in a dishwasher and has drainage holes, for easy drying.

Four wheeled walkers, when used appropriately, will allow the person to adopt a more fluent walking pattern. Large wheels and/or large swivelling castors facilitate travel. However, they may be too mobile for people who need to lean or push against the frame for support - the frame may run away from them. The size of these walkers make them more suitable for outside use, but with adequate space, can be used inside. Trolleys are available with one or two shelves; the bottom shelf is sometimes recessed to give greater space for your legs when stepping forwards. Some trolleys have removable trays which may help when transferring items or cleaning the tray.These are the most common type of crutch and may be single or double adjustable. Both floor-to-handgrip height and the distance between the cuff and the handgrip are adjustable on double adjustable elbow crutches. Single adjustable elbow crutches allow floor-to-handgrip height adjustment only. Standard and anatomically moulded handgrips are available.

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. The handgrip adjusts along the upright side of the crutches and should be set at a height level with the protruding bone at the side of the wrist. Made from tough, durable plastic that can be cleaned in a dishwasher and has drainage holes for easy drying 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.
