This very specialized, high-end walker is in nice condition. The foam lining the backrest had a couple tears in it, so I glued them.
This walker provides stability and maneuverability. It promotes independence and reduces falls, especially for those with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. Anybody could benefit from its sturdiness, stability, and maneuverability.
This walker uses reverse braking technology. You have to squeeze the brake levers to move forward. When you release the brake levers, the wheels lock. This prevents the walker from rolling unintentionally. It also allows you to sit on the seat safely without having to lock or hold onto the brakes.
The configuration of the wheels allows a tight turning radius. It can pretty much turn circles in place.
It has a padded seat and a basket under the seat.
This is the Standard size U-Step. There is also a Junior size and a Tall size. This Standard size has a seat that is 22" high from the ground. The handle height can be adjusted in one inch increments to be from 29.5" to 38.5" from the ground. It is for a person from 5'2" to 6'1".
There is an optional accessory that can be purchased online called "The Cue". It would provide laser light and sound for visual and audio prompts while walking. It could be especially helpful for Parkinson's patients who suffer from freezing.
The last photo in my ad shows the parts. This photo includes "The Cue" optional accessory that mine does not have.
The following is from the internet...
In-Step created the U-Step Walker Rollator to increase your independence. The secret is in our patented U-shaped base. Its ultra-stable foundation braces you in every direction.
It is a great walking aid for Parkinson’s
It is not like pushing a typical walker. Instead, the U-Step surrounds you and moves with you. You will feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm.
The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control. The U-Step will not roll unless you are ready to walk. When you lightly squeeze either hand brake, the unit will roll with you. Once you release the hand brake, the unit will stop immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away from you.
