Stabilized Steps adds 2 platform attachments to the legs of a walker, and has a multitude of uses and functionality for stability needs whether inside or outside. People who have f oot/ankle injuries or surgeries requiring them to be non-weight bearing, or patients who have stability issues benefit from these attachments. People that tend to put weight on one side of the walker often, see an increase in stability. What you get: a complete Stabilizer Walker, ready to use. It is a Drive Medical Deluxe Trigger Release Folding Walker with two 22 inch Stabilized Steps platforms, often called walker skis, already attached along the bottom. Molded rubber pads grip the floor, so the walker stays planted like a set of parallel bars when you lean on it, turn, or stand up from a chair. The handles adjust from 32 to 39 inches, and the trigger release lets you fold the walker without taking your hands off the grips, which helps if finger dexterity is limited. The maker includes a fitting and how-to-use session with each walker, and shows it in use at home, in restaurants, in the garden, and on the beach or snow. Who it is for: people who are non-weight bearing after a foot or ankle injury, people who lean to one side, and anyone whose walker slides or tips on slick floors. Set it to the right height: the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends that the top of the walker reach the crease of your wrist.
