How stable is the U-Step II Walker?

The patented U-shaped base, is ultra-stable. It surrounds you and braces you in every direction from falling. You feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm.

How is it different from other walkers?

While other walkers only partially brace you from falling, the U-Step II Walker surrounds you and braces you in every direction from falling. It turns around in 29 inches as compared to 50 inches for most other advanced walkers. This will allow you to turn in tight indoor areas, such as washrooms, kitchens, and hallways. At 22 inches wide, you can easily walk through narrow doorways.

How much control do I have over the walker?

The reverse breaking system of the U-Step II Walker helps in completely stopping the movement of the walker the moment your grip on the handle releases. The walker will not roll until you lightly squeeze either hand brake. Once you release the hand brake, the unit will stop immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away from you.

Reverse Breaking

Unlike other rolling walkers, you can adjust the rolling speed of the U-Step II. Many people find wheeled walkers roll too fast for them. That is why there is an engineered control for setting the rolling resistance.

Rolling Resistance

The patented spring-loaded front caster system glides easily over uneven surfaces, such as indoor molding strips and cracks in the sidewalk. This avoids sudden jolts as well as the need to lift the walker over small obstacles.

Can I use the U-Step Walker outdoors?

Lifting a walker to go up a curb or small stair can be dangerous. This innovative feature is designed to help you safely and easily go up a curb or one step. Either by stepping down on the back of the base or just by pulling back on the handlebars, you can raise the front of the walker to go up a curb or small step.

Can the U-Step II Walker be taken wherever I go?

Folding the U-Step II is as easy as one, two, three! Lift the release lever by the seat, pull up on the seat support to fold the U-Step II and put it in the car; no bending down to pick it up. The U-Step II is four pounds lighter than the original U-Step, making it easier to lift and transport. The walker weighs less than 11.5 kgs.

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.
