About A Better Walker
A Better Walker is staffed by a team driven by a mission to improve lives. Founded by Jack VanAusdall, a dedicated healthcare professional with nearly three decades of experience, our team has witnessed firsthand the limitations of traditional walkers and the pain they can cause.
Fueled by a desire to help patients, we wanted to find a better solution. Through years of research, development, and testing, we created A Better Walker. Our invention quickly gained interest, attracting tens of thousands of followers on social media and messages from physicians and pharmacies worldwide who recognized its potential to reduce falls and improve safety.
Falls are a serious concern for seniors. An estimated 47,312 falls occur every year due to walking aids, and 87.3% of those falls are caused by walkers. Walkers are seven times more likely than canes to cause a fall, resulting in fractures, contusions, and abrasions that could require hospitalization.
Many traditional walkers and rollators have significant safety risks because of their design. Typically, the handles are positioned at waist level, which causes individuals to hunch forward or grip the walker improperly. This posture can lead to falls, as the person may pitch forward or be dragged under the rollator, increasing the risk of injury.
A Better Walker was made to address these issues. The patented angled forearm rests encourage an upright posture and offer better support for the user, helping to reduce the risk of falls. It gives users more confidence in their ability to move safely once again.
A Better Walker is now available to purchase and is reimbursable by Medicare with a prescription. Talk to your physical therapist or place an order through our website today and start experiencing the joy of confident, secure, and pain-free movement once again.
