UPWalker Neuro includes rotational armrests, speed control, reverse motion stops and other features addressing the mobility deficits of Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis and other movement disorders.
SAN DIEGO, Sep. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LifeWalker Mobility Products, a San Diego-based leader in personal mobility innovation, introduces the UPWalker® Neuro with features designed for the daily living needs of neurological and movement disorder patients as well as clinical applications that may assist therapists when performing various functional mobility activities. Based on the popular UPWalker-- the original upright posture walker -- the UPWalker Neuro includes rotational armrests, speed control and reverse motion stops in addition to the standard features of the original UPWalker.
Original UPWalker.
The UPWalker is a revolutionary mobility product that enables users to walk comfortably with upright posture, increased safety and less pain as compared to traditional walkers and rollators that can cause users to hunch over with pressure on their hands, wrists and back. According to a clinical research study, the unique design of the UPWalker reduces pain in the wrists, lower back and leg joints as compared to traditional walkers, and the upright position enables the user to walk farther with less effort.
With its modern, ergonomic design and cushioned adjustable-height armrests, safety handbrakes, eight-inch multi-surface wheels, padded sit-to-stand handles and an integrated seat, the UPWalker was engineered for active living indoors and out and for physical therapy treatments in rehabilitation settings. The UPWalker is easy to maneuver, lightweight and folds easily for convenient storage and transport.
