Walking Frames

Walking frames provide stable support with both hands for people with mobility, stability and balance impairments. The range includes fixed, stepping and front-wheeled models.

Walking frames — how to choose

Walking frames are mobility aids for people with impairments of movement, stability and balance. They usually have four legs with rubber tips or front wheels, providing safe support with both hands.

Types and what to look for

  • Fixed frame — the most stable, lifted with each step.
  • Stepping frame — allows the sides of the frame to be moved in turn without lifting it.
  • Frame with front wheels — allows the frame to be pushed without lifting.
  • Height adjustment and maximum load.

Quality and support

All walking frames are CE-marked medical devices. If the frame is only needed temporarily, it can be hired or rented from us. If you are looking for an aid with wheels and a seat for resting, see also rollators.

Frequently asked questions

Can a walking frame be hired?

Yes. Walking frames can be hired or rented if they are only needed temporarily.
