An upright walker like A Better Walker offers users numerous benefits. The patented forearm supports offer users a stable platform while improving their posture and balance. An upright walker can also reduce the risk of falls by keeping the head upright and the eyes forward on the path ahead of the user. This means those with mobility challenges can move more confidently and independently.

Traditional walkers contribute to back and neck pain because of the posture they encourage. Many people use traditional walkers hunched over, placing strain on their necks, backs, and shoulders. A Better Walker’s upright design solves this issue by helping you stand upright and maintain a more natural, pain-free walking position.

A Better Walker differs from other walkers thanks to its patented angled forearm supports. Unlike traditional walkers, which cause you to walk hunched over, the patented angled forearm supports hold users upright. This position supports better posture and creates a more natural gait for enhanced mobility. A Better Walker also offers a unique reversible design, so users can have the seat behind them or in front of them as they move around.
