Walking frames have a larger base of support than other types of walking equipment,2 which provides additional support to maintain balance or stability whilst walking.1
Wheeled & non-wheeled walking frames are including in this section. They are available in various styles, weights, and some may have additional accessories.
The most effective way of ensuring the frame is at the correct height is for you to wear your regular, supportive footwear and be measured by your physiotherapist.
Regular maintenance of walking frames is essential to ensure safety. Checks should be made for signs of wear and tear, particularly at the site of screws and height adjustment mechanisms. All ferrules should be checked regularly and replaced as appropriate.
