12 Month WarrantyU-Step 2 Walking Stabiliser
The U-Step is a unique design with seven wheels so it is ultra-stable, it was designed specifically for people with neurological conditions.
- Postural Correction: The U-shaped frame surrounds the patient’s centre of gravity, encouraging a more upright posture and reducing the tendency to shuffle (festination).
- Postural Instability: The U-Step is designed to provide greater postural stability helping to prevent and reduce falls. Users also feel safer because of the U-shaped design that surrounds them while walking. Many users have reported that they feel as stable as holding another person’s arm. The anti-tip wheels on the U-Step add extra stability and ensure the user won’t fall backwards.
- Manoeuvrability: The U-Step also boasts a unique wheel configuration, which enables it to have a very tight turning circle (29 inches/74cm) making it more manoeuvrable in small spaces such as toilets. The patented spring-loaded front caster wheel system glides easily over uneven surfaces. The U-Step can be used both inside and outside.
- Comfort: The U-Step has a comfortable padded seat and backrest, this is ideal for situations where a break from walking may be required. There is a small basket under the seat for added convenience.
- Easily Transported: Folding the U-Step is simple. Release the locking clips, lift the release lever by the seat and pull up on the seat support to fold the U-Step. It fits in the boot or back seat of most cars and should you require it to be smaller, you can remove the backrest and lower the handles without tools.
- If you have gait freezing or gait ignition failure such as in Parkinson’s Disease and other Parkinsonian conditions as well as in other Neurological Disorders such as cerebrovascular disease, the U-Step can be supplied with an optional Laser Visual Cueing System.
Optional Extras
- Laser and Audio Cueing Module (Available on the US002 Model) The laser projects a line onto the ground in front of the user acting as a visual cue to help trigger the first walking step, break freezing episodes, and increase stride length. The U-Step 2 also includes an audio cue. This version also provides an audio beep to assist with walking, with 15 speeds ranging from 59 to 130 beats per minute.
- The U-Step can now be supplied with gutter arms if required (Available on the US201 model). Ideally suited to those with limited grip strength, the Rollator can be fitted with two soft, comfortable forearm troughs that take the majority of the user’s weight instead of it being carried by the hands and wrists.
The gutter arms are height and angle adjustable, this means they can be completely customised to suit a specific users requirement.
