Lifting a walking frame with both hands at once is beyond some clients. The Freedom Quick Fold Reciprocal frame hinges on each side, so the client can either lift the whole frame or swing one side forward at a time in a reciprocal gait, whichever their arms and balance allow that day.
A push button on each side folds it flat for a car boot or a cupboard, and at its weight most clients can handle that themselves. An oval crossbar stiffens the front, the legs adjust for height with push pin extensions, the rubber tips are replaceable, and a storage bag is included.
Who it suits
A client who cannot lift a full frame with both hands at once, for example with one weak arm or poor standing balance, and who benefits from moving one side of the frame at a time. It also suits a client who travels often and needs a frame that folds fast. A client who walks longer distances or needs to carry items would be better served by a two wheeled frame or a seat walker.
Good to know
- Supplied folded; unfolds and sets to height without tools
- Set the handle height at the wrist crease with the client standing tall
- Storage bag included
- Wheels are not fitted; this is a pick-up frame
