U-STEP Walker 2

The U-Step 2 walking Stabilizer was designed to increase independence and eliminate falling among those with neurological conditions including Parkinson’s. The leading-edge features of the U-Step 2, as compared to other walking aids, make it superior by providing more stability, maneuverability and control. Tens of thousands of people with neurological conditions have benefited from the U-Step 2 design.
Beneficial to patients with various neurological conditions including:

• Parkinson’s Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Balance Disorders
• Brain Injuries
• ALS
• PSP/MSA
• Ataxia
• Stroke
• Stability

Our patented U-shaped base, is ultra-stable. It surrounds you and braces you in every direction from falling. You feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm. Other walkers only partially brace you from falling

The advanced control features play an important role in the security that the U-Step provides you. The reversed braking system and the rolling resistance control are exclusive to the U-Step 2 and put you in complete control.

By placing the main turning wheels towards the middle of the base, as opposed to in the rear as in other rolling walkers, the U-Step 2 turns around in 74cm as compared to 127cm for most other advanced walkers. This will allow you to turn in tight indoor areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways. At 58cm wide, you can easily walk through narrow doorways.

Features

• Small turning circle for tight spaces
• Reversed braking system
• Rolling resistance control
• Spring-loaded front wheels
• Folds for easy transporting
• Sound and laser cue module attachment available

Specification
The U-Step 2 gives you stability by surrounding and moving with you. It is not like pushing a typical walker. You will feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm. The patented U-shape base is designed so that it surrounds you, keeping your center of gravity low to prevent you from falling. The base has been solidly welded so that there is not movement, helping you feel secure while moving.

Control
The turn wheels are located in the middle of the base, instead of at the rear as seen with many other rollators. This creates a smaller turning circle of 74cm, compared to 127cm with other rollators. A smaller turning circle means you’re able to manoeuvre much easier in tight spaces such as narrow doorways, bedrooms and kitchens.

Braking System
The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control.
The U-Step 2 will not roll unless you are ready to walk. When you lightly squeeze either brake release lever, the unit will roll with you. Once you release the lever, the unit will stop immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away from you.

The U-Step Walker 2 folds up in two simple steps and can be stowed in the back seat of your car.

1. Lift the release lever located by the seat
2. Pull up on the seat to fold
There is no bending down necessary.

This attachment for the U-step walker 2 has been clinically proven to reduce freezing and falls seen by people living with Parkinson’s. Once the red button from the module is pressed, a bright laser line is projected onto the floor which helps to normalise walking by increasing your stride. A sound cue feature is also available with the module which provides a ‘beat’ sound pattern to help in maintaining a consistent walking speed.

We recommend working with your physiotherapist or occupational therapist to ascertain whether and which cues may work best for you.
