UPWalker Walking Aid by LifeWalker

The UPWalker Walking Aid by LifeWalker is a mobility device that helps users walk in a more natural upright posture, without needing to bend over or slouch in uncomfortable positions. The UPWalker rollator's high handles support the user's arms at the optimal position for comfort, removing the constant pressure on the hands and wrists experienced with other devices. The UPWalker helps recapture normal gait and mobility.

The LifeWalker Walking Aid requires less effort, due to its lightweight and maneuverability. The large 8-inch wheels roll over almost any surface, from smooth floors to rough terrain, such as grasslands or pathways. Free-swiveling front wheels allow this unit to turn with ease. A locking mechanism can restrict the motion to force a straight line if needed.

Bicycle-style ergonomic hand controls operate the brakes with a simple squeeze. Pulling the handles away from the hand-grips engages the parking brakes, keeping the UPWalker from moving. With the brakes locked, this ambulatory aid can be used as a chair, featuring a seat that slides back with minimal effort. Stand-to-sit handles provide a solid foundation to hold onto while sitting or standing. Rotating hand-grips on the UPWalker allow for the natural positioning of the hands for maximum comfort.

There are several UPWalker Upright Walking Aid sizes, including standard, small, large and the UPWalker Lite which is 34% lighter. The UPWalker Lite also features ergonomic handgrips instead of soft grips, smaller 6-inch rear wheels instead of 8-inch wheels, and a fixed seat instead of a sliding seat. Vitality Medical carries the UPWalker Accessories.

UPWalker Walking Aid Profile

The UPWalker weighs 25 pounds or less (21 pounds (Small), 23-1/2 pounds (Standard), and 25 pounds (Large)) - light enough to lift onto a threshold. Each unit folds by lifting the seat and then pushing the sides together. A hook holds the sides in their folded position. When folded, the UPWalker H200S and H200 are small enough to fit into a trunk or back seat for transport. The larger unit (H200L), however, does not fit into all cars. While folded, each stands up for convenient, out-of-the-way storage.

The LifeWalker UPWalker Upright Walker Difference

The base of the unit flows around the user, holding them securely in the center of gravity, with two wheels located in front and two behind. The arrangement distributes weight more evenly from front to back and side to side. Plenty of leg clearance allows for a full step with each stride.

Attention to the little details helps set the UPWalker apart from its competition. Rear-facing reflectors make the ambulistic aid more visible to oncoming traffic. Cupped arm supports provide comfort and stability. The placement of the handles, along with the brake levers, reduces strain and fatigue. The synergy of the UPWalker design and construction allows the user more freedom to be active and walk farther with less effort.

Stability Designed for Safety

Engineered from the start to be safer, the UPWalker is the only mobility aid that offers enhanced stability and maximum comfort for users. The UPWalker's patented design places the user at the center of gravity, with the weight flowing down inside the wheels. Other products shift weight forward over the front wheels instead, causing a tipping hazard.

The UPwalker is the only one of its kind to receive ISO certification for both indoor and outdoor use. Qualifying for the certification requires passing stringent tests that cover the stability of aids that have horizontal arm supports. Competitors fail due to the risk of tipping.

Competing products often come disassembled, requiring assembly. Not only that, but the UPWalker also provides superior comfort features, such as easy height adjustment, ergonomic armrests and brake-handles, and free extras, such as a backrest and beverage holder.
