Walking Frames

What Are Walking Frames?

A walking frame is a mobility aid that offers extra support to people who might find themselves in need of it. These may be individuals who tire easily from walking, the elderly, and those with mobility issues caused by factors such as injury, illness, or disability.

If you can stand and walk on your own but sometimes feel unsteady on your feet, mobility frames offer the ideal solution. Typically made from lightweight aluminium and featuring four feet or legs, they are the perfect sturdy and stable bases that you can quite literally lean on. Providing additional stability are non-slip rubber ferrules found at the end of each foot or leg, and comfortable hand grips, which are often made from PVC.

Other models available include mobility frames with wheels. These feature wheels at the front to aid manoeuvrability, which makes them a good option for navigating smaller spaces and getting around the home.

What Are The Benefits Of Walking Frames?

The main benefit of walking frames is that they provide stability to people who find walking difficult. With their four-leg design, they offer much more support than walking sticks and can work to improve the user’s balance. And in turn, their sense of independence and confidence.

Some models have two front wheels that make the walking frame easier to manoeuvre. Folding walking frames are also available. Foldable wheeled options are the perfect choice for those who want to be able to use their walking frame both inside and outside. This is not just because of their lightweight frame, but also because they can be easily folded and taken on outings.

Mobility walking frames generally benefit overall wellbeing. For example, by helping people follow their normal walking routine and activities, and as a result, benefiting their mental health. Something that is likely to be impacted after suffering an injury, illness, or health condition that reduces their ability to get out of the house unaided.

Whichever type of mobility frame you choose, you’ll find that getting around will immediately become more comfortable and convenient. Your posture is also likely to improve, while the risk of slips and falls significantly reduces. Walking frames really are a fantastic aid to help you on your journey to greater freedom and independence.
