MEDPRO™ Rising Foldable Walking Frame
MEDPRO™ Rising Foldable Walking Frame is a versatile walker with multiple functions. It can be used as a normal walking frame for support and balance when moving around and also used as a rising aid that can assist the user when getting out of a chair or bed.
It has two pairs of moulded handles set at different heights, allowing for users to rise safely.
The walker can also be turned around and positioned around a toilet. This enables the user to toilet independently.

Fitting your walking frame/walker
Adjust your walker so that it fits your arms comfortably. This will reduce stress on your shoulders and back as you use the walker. To tell if your walker is the correct height, step inside your walker and:
1. Check your elbow bend. Keeping your shoulders relaxed, place your hands on the grips. Your elbows should bend at a comfortable angle of about 15 degrees.
2. Check your wrist height. Stand inside the walker and relax your arms at your sides. The top of the walker grip should line up with the crease on the inside of your wrist.
