Why is it easier to maneuver with the U-Step?

Sevenwheels allow you to swivel and manage uneven surfaces with more stability thanstandard walkers can offer. The U-shaped base promotes better posture byreducing the tendency to lean forward when walking.

If the U-Step rolls so easily, might it roll awayfrom me?

Twofeatures prevent that from happening. The hand brakes are configured aspull-to-go, in contrast to typical hand brakes. Also, a set ofvariable-resistance pads regulate the two large wheels on the base, accordingto the needs of the particular patient.

Is the U-Step only intended for Parkinsons patients?

TheU-Step offers more stability for anyone who requires a walker. Those withconditions such as Parkinsons, MS, stroke, Ataxia or PSP often find that theU-Step is the only walker that provides maximum mobility for them.
