UPWalker
What is UPWALKER?
The UPWalker addresses the deficiencies of conventional walkers, including fall risk, slouching, and lack of user confidence and comfort. Traditional rollators can lead patients to experience painful pressure on the wrists and back, the UPWalker is designed to support patients in a secure upright position and improving gait efficiency during ambulation.

-

-
Users experienced lower oxygen consumption and physical exertion
-
Reduced erector spinae lumbar muscle activation
-
Reduced anterior-posterior trunk sway
-
Offloaded 39% to 46% of body weight through elbow support armrest while ambulating
