Keep your access routes around the house clear at all times Wheeled walking frames are basically the same as standard pulpit frames but instead of ferrules they have small wheels on the front legs. It may be possible to exchange the ferrules on a standard, non-mobile frame for wheeled extensions. The small wheels make them more suitable for indoor use but, as the wheels do not swivel, they can be difficult to manoeuvre. Fixed height or adjustable height versions are available. Some are provided with a plastic, storage wallet.

Sometimes complete recovery is not possible, or you may have an illness or disability that permanently affects your legs, balance or coordination. In these situations, mobility equipment may be required for long-term use. A folding frame can easily be stored within the home if it does not need to be used all the time. It also makes it easier to transport in a car boot. Folding frames with four legs have hinged sides, which can be folded flat against the front of the frame when catches are released.These frames are hinged so that each side can be alternately placed forwards with each step to give a reciprocal action. They will go through tighter spaces than standard frames.

Walking equipment is usually for one of two purposes: as part of a rehabilitation programme if you are recovering from an injury or operation, or as a long-term aid to mobility if you have ongoing difficulty with walking. All tripods and quadrupods are made of metal, usually aluminium or steel, and have a telescopic mechanism for adjusting height using spring-loaded catches. It is very important to have the tripod or quadrupod at the correct height for use.Triangular frames are sometimes called 'Delta' or 'tri-wheeler frames'. They have a single front swivel castor and two uni-directional rear wheels. The larger wheels make them suitable for use outdoors. You may find them more manoeuvrable than four wheeled walkers, although not as stable. As they are so manoeuvrable, the use of the brakes when the person stops walking is important for safety. Like two wheeled rollators they may allow you to adopt a more flowing walking pattern than a non-wheeled walking frame. The height of the pushing handles can be adjusted. The environments that you spend most time in - your home, college, work or social setting. Do you need to manage the stairs or access a small bathroom/toilet? Equipment that is height adjustable can show signs of stress at the height setting after prolonged use. Handgrips can also become worn. Although certain handgrips can be replaced, they are less easy to obtain. It may be easier to replace the whole walking aid. The walking frame caddy has one large and one small compartment to allow the user to separate items such as glasses, keys, medication etc. Also supplied with a tray, that is designed to safely transport a plate of food, also supplied is a mug holder, which catches any spillages.
