Who Uses This Product? Individuals with limited mobility who need advanced stabilizing mobility, such as those with Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis (MS), trouble balancing, and more.
Why They Love It: The U-Step 2 Walker keeps users with neurological conditions feeling safe with its ultra-stable U-shaped base, the "pull-to-go" braking system, and stabilization from seven adjustable-speed wheels. It not only helps users to walk, but because reverse braking prevents the U-Step from rolling away, it can also support users as they move from sitting to standing.
U-Step 2 Neuro Walker Overview
The U-Step II Walking Stabilizer is a stabilizing walker designed to provide greater stability for users with neurological conditions. The patented, u-shaped base provides ultra-stability to support the user, prevent falling, and promote better posture. It comes with adjustable-height handlebars or forearm platforms, depending on the model selected. A cushioned seat offers a spot for users to sit and relax, and the spring-loaded front caster system provides stabilization while navigating uneven terrain. The reverse braking system is controlled by handbrakes, which engage the brakes to go and release them to stop. This gives the user a greater sense of control and prevents the walker from accidentally rolling away, allowing the U-Step to support the user as they transition between sitting and standing. Users can even make tension control adjustments to change the wheel rolling speed if they feel the U-Step II Walker rolls faster than they'd like.

Laser & Sound Cueing Module
The Cue is clinically proven to reduce freezing and falling caused by Parkinson's. When turned on, it projects a bright laser (available in red or green) that shines on the ground for the user to follow, normalizing walking pace and increasing stride. It even comes with an audio feature that can be turned on and off so the user can step in time to the beat.
Enhanced Safety Features
The U-Step 2 handles curbs like a dream, thanks to the ability to easily lift the front of the walker. Simply pull back on the ergonomic handlebars or step down on the lever at the back of the base to safely clear curbs and small steps. And unlike traditional walkers, seven wheels stabilize the U-Step 2 Walker for Parkinson's to maximize stability and safety. The front wheels are spring-loaded so that they can roll easily over uneven surfaces without the need to lift the walker. The wheels can even be adjusted for different levels of resistance to alter the rolling speed as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the U-Step only intended for Parkinson’s patients?
Those with MS, stroke, Ataxia, or PSP and anyone who requires the stability of a walker can use the U-Step.
The two rear wheels are not level with the other wheels. Is that normal?
This is the intended design so that the rear wheels stabilize the user when walking on a ramp or another uneven surface without hindering progress.
What keeps the U-Step from rolling away?
There are two features that prevent unwanted rolling from happening: the handbrakes, which are “pull-to-go,” and the friction mechanism that regulates the two large wheels at the base.
