Announcing the U-Step Specialty Walker for Parkinson's, Stroke and MS for Safety and Improved Gait

May 9, 2011 - PRLog -- The patented U-shaped base surrounds the individual in front and both sides bracing the user in every direction. It is not like pushing a usual walker but more like holding on to someone else's arm as you move. With a stable foundation the user has more independence and ability to ambulate in a neutral position with good vertical posture. Many people suffering with these problems have an anterior or posterior lean which makes it very difficult to maneuver safely. The U-Step creates a safe foundation for good body alignment in an upright position, with chest up and eyes at proper eye level. Wheels around the base allow for a smooth roll and very tight and stable turning radius, only 22", making the U-Step especially useful indoors as well as out. The narrow overall width of 23" makes it easy to fit through doorways, halls, in bathrooms and around furniture.

The U-Step comes complete with a reverse braking system. This is very important for safety because the walker will not roll unless the brakes are actively disengaged by the user by squeezing on the brake or as an alternate method by pushing down on a front safety bar much like a shopping cart handle. This makes sure that the walker will not roll unless the user is ready for it to begin moving. Another added feature along these lines is the tension wheel which allows you to adjust the desired tension on the main wheels to control the speed the wheels will roll. If one has ever worried that the walker will roll too fast, this is the part that will ease that problem.

Another excellent addition to the U-Step is created especially for people suffering with Parkinson's Disease where "freezing" during walking is a difficult hardship. An easily used ingenious red laser beam can be activated across the back walking area giving the user a visual cue for continued stepping one foot in front of the other. This allows the user to ease the situation and independently continue forward motion.

Because the foundation is solid and stable the user can safely turn around holding on to the side handles and comfortably sit on the seat in order to rest. The height of the U-Step handles are adjustable to fit people from 5'1" to 6'1" and for a modest fee it can be customized to fit people from 4' to 6'4". This excellent walker comes with a sturdy basket and folds easily to a size that can fit in the car's backseat or trunk. There is also a color choice of blue or black.
