Product Description

Hopkin Rising Walking Frame

Hopkin Rising Walking Frame is designed to help the user rise from a seated position. The lower handles are situated in the ideal place for the user to push themselves upwards into a standing position which supported by the upper grips. It provides an additional level of balance and support while walking. It allows you to switch between 2 types of motion, which are fixed or reciprocal, to meet your needs. The removable “E Clips” will allow the frame to be fixed or reciprocal, mirroring the user’s steps, giving complete stability and maximum freedom of movement. The height is adjustable, which allows you to maintain good posture while walking.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT 

A foldable walking frame or model that can be otherwise disassembled for storage and transport in a car or plane is ideal. If these factors don’t apply to you, then a fixed model may be more suitable. Please remember to store your frame in a secure, safe place that is out of the elements to ensure that it lasts a while. 

FINDING A FIT 

When choosing and fitting a walking frame, you want to be sure that its handgrip is level with your wrist crease when you are standing normally with your hands by your side. This will help determine the best height for the frame. You want a 15-to-30-degree bend at your elbow for maximum comfort and safety.

USING THE WALKER

When using a walking frame, it is best to position it in parallel facing forward. Move your impaired leg forward first, then the non-impaired one, and then place the frame forward again. Please refrain from using your frame to traverse stairs. A single step is fine, but anything more than that presents a risk. Don’t place the frame too far forward, and when taking a seat or standing up, always use the seat or someone’s arm for support.
