Some clients cannot use a standard rollator safely because it runs away from them. The U-Step 2 from In-Step Mobility Products is built around that problem. The braking works in reverse: the wheels are locked at rest and only roll while the user squeezes the levers, so the frame stops the moment their hands relax.
The U-shaped base wraps around the user on three sides, giving a wider base of support than a conventional four wheel walker, and spring loaded rear wheels with adjustable braking resistance let a physio dial in how freely it moves. This version comes with the padded fold up seat and a removable basket. It does not include the laser and sound cueing module, which In-Step sells separately.
Who it suits
People with Parkinson’s disease, cerebellar ataxia, MS or post stroke balance loss who have had falls or near falls with a standard walker, and who can squeeze both brake levers to release the wheels. Physiotherapists often prescribe it where the client pushes a rollator too far ahead or cannot control it on a slope.
