Description
The U-Step Walking Stabilizer is designed to increase independence and eliminate falling among those with neurological conditions. The leading-edge features of the U-Step, as compared to other walking aids, make it superior by providing more stability, maneuverability and control. Its reversed braking system is easy to use and puts the user in complete control. It will move only when the user is in a condition to walk. When you lightly squeeze either brake release lever, the unit will roll with you. Once you release the lever, the unit will stop immediately. Primarily used by those with Parkinson’s freezing but can be used by anyone with an irregular gait pattern, Multiple Sclerosis, Ataxia, Stroke, Brain Injuries, Balance Disorders, ALS or PSP/MSA. The Laser and Sound Cueing Module can help get you started, normalize your walking and increase your stride. Press the red button on the module to project a bright red laser line on the floor to guide your step. You can also turn on the sound feature to set a beat pattern for walking speed.

Dr. Suparna Gangopadhyay (Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata) –
I have used the four wheelie walker (U-Step) for a while now and I am quite happy the way it promises to reduce the freezing and improve the gait pattern in people with features of Parkinson’s Disease. The in-built auditory and visual cue systems are useful adjunct to help in the initial gait training program and consolidating the benefits long term. The additional incorporation of a seating system allows the tired person to rest in between ambulation and activities.
Overall, the mobility device has the characteristics to help improve mobility in people with abnormal gait pattern.

He’s quite happy and comfortable with the product.As of now, it’s early days for a detailed review as it was only delivered a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, I am quite a satisfied customer with this product in general & of the exemplary service of Elderease right from product enquiry to delivery; highly recommended shop!
