Walking device.


The ARJO Walker provides the optimum conditions to take that first step. It plays an important supporting role every step of the way during the initial stages of a patient's rehabilitation and ambulation training. The Walker's hi-low function reduces transfer risks for both patient and therapist when lifting or lowering the patient to and from the standing position. While in motion, the patient's sense of security is enhanced by safety and comfort features: adjustable handgrips for a firm hold, the U-shaped support table for leaning on, and back/suspension straps to prevent falling.
