NRS Walk Safe® Walking Frame

Product Information

• Description

  The NRS Walk Safe® is a revolutionary lightweight indoor walking frame with a brand-new design that’s proven to be twice as stable when turning, compared to the traditional zimmer frame.

  Created in partnership with the University of Salford and backed by four years of academic research and development, the Walk Safe® is a game-changer, truly breaking free of the walking frame mould which has barely changed in 70 years.

  Easy and safe turning
  The incredible new castor design on the Walk Safe® lets you turn as you walk, without having to lift the whole frame up. You get smoother, more stable turns and a more natural walking movement. With Magnetic Directional Bias, the wheels return to a forward-facing position once you’ve made your turn, giving you much more control when you travel in a straight line.

  Combined rear pressure brake and glide
  A combined glide and brake on the rear legs gives you a smooth motion and controlled stopping all in one handy feature. The glide travels smoothly over your home’s surfaces and thresholds, rather than the jerky movement of a traditional rear ferrule. However, if you apply pressure to the frame, the rear brake contacts the floor to bring you to a safe stop.

  Built-in lower handles
  This newest zimmer frame on the market also has two lower handles, cleverly designed to give you extra support when you stand up from your chair, sofa, or bed – as well as when you sit back down again. They’re particularly useful if your chair doesn’t have armrests, or if you’re getting up from a bed or sofa. Positioned so that the Walk Safe® won’t tip when you use them correctly to stand or sit, these lower handles are at a much easier height to aid you from a sitting position.
