A larger client needs a seat walker wide enough to sit on comfortably and solid enough to feel steady. The Freedom Healthcare Genesis 3 Extra Wide is built for that: a wider aluminium frame with a broad padded seat and a folding padded backrest, so a rest stop is a proper rest rather than a perch.
The flat free wheels are the other reason it gets specified. They roll over paths, grass and door thresholds without punctures, so a client who walks to the letterbox or around a garden is not caught out by a flat. Loop lever hand brakes lock for parking before the client sits, the handles adjust for height, and a shopping basket is included.
It suits people with reduced exercise tolerance, cardiac or respiratory conditions, or arthritis who are safe to walk with a wheeled frame and need to sit and recover along the way. It folds for the car boot, so it travels to appointments as well as around the house.
