The U-Step 2 gives you stability by surrounding and moving with you
It is not like pushing a typical walker. You will feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm.
The patented U-shape base is designed so that it surrounds you, keeping your center of gravity low to prevent you from falling.
The base has been solidly welded so that there is not movement, helping you feel secure while moving.
Control
The turn wheels are located in the middle of the base, instead of at the rear as seen with many other rollators.
This creates a smaller turning circle of 74cm, compared to 127cm with other rollators.
A smaller turning circle means you’re able to manoeuvre much easier in tight spaces such as narrow doorways, bedrooms & kitchens.
Braking System
The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control.
The U-Step 2 will not roll unless you are ready to walk. When you lightly squeeze either brake release lever, the unit will roll with you.
Once you release the lever, the unit will stop immediately.
This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away from you.
Easily Transported
The U-Step Walker 2 folds up in two simple steps and can be stowed in the back seat of your car.
1. Lift the release lever located by the seat
2. Pull up on the seat to fold
There is no bending down necessary.
Sound & Laser Cue Module
This attachment for the U-step walker 2 has been clinically proven to reduce freezing and falls seen by people living with Parkinson’s.
Once the red button from the module is pressed, a bright laser line is projected onto the floor which helps to normalise walking by increasing your stride.
A sound cue feature is also available with the module which provides a ‘beat’ sound pattern to help in maintaining a consistent walking speed.
