Kaye Anterior Support Walkers with Forearm Supports

The anterior support walkers are designed for users who can support weight on their legs and take steps, but who lack balance or upper body and shoulder control to use more traditional walkers. These walkers are intended for users who need forearm and shoulder support in order to maintain an upright alignment for walking. Forearm support aids thoracic extension (upper trunk posture) by allowing weight bearing on the forearms with the elbows aligned under the shoulders.

Description

To determine the appropriate size, model number, and price, measure from the ground to the user’s elbow. Then match that distance with “Height to Forearm Cushion” column in the table below. Where more than one size is appropriate, the larger will allow for more growth.
