Issues With Conventional Four-Wheel Walkers
Walkers help elderly persons suffering from weak leg and back muscles move around safely. Walkers come in a wide variety of types. Caster walkers (four-wheel walkers and rolling walkers) require less effort to use, allowing users to push these walkers like a cart instead of lifting. However, when fatigued, patients may push these walkers too far forward and risk falling.
Caster walkers are also not suitable to support patients when they stand up and may discourage rehabilitation for those who require assistance to do so.
The KW300 Solves Challenges
in Walking Rehabilitation
- Stand stopper reduces the risk of falls when standing up
- Wide elbow rests (forearm support) stretch the lower back and prevent poor posture
- Choose from optional oxygen cylinder stand, IV mounting bracket, and other accessories
Three Reasons to Choose the KW300
1.The lock function allows users to lean on the walker when standing up
The KW300 features a standing stopper function not found in conventional caster walkers. When locked, stoppers extend from the bottom of the walker and lift the front wheels.
The handle supports patients when standing up from beds and chairs.
2.Wide elbow rests prevent poor posture during rehabilitation
Poor posture is common in rehab patients using walkers. Fatigued patients tend to lean forward when walking. This habit prevents patients from keeping proper posture during training, adversely affecting rehabilitation. Bad posture may cause patients to move their walker too far forward, resulting in a heightened risk of falling.
The KW300 solves these issues with an inverted V-shaped handle for easy gripping and a wide elbow rest for stable elbow placement. These features reduce the risk of falling greatly, and the elbow rests support body weight to reduce fatigue. The KW300 makes walking rehabilitation safer than ever before.
10 Adjustable Handle Heights
The KW300 handle has 10 adjustable heights in 2.5 centimeter increments for the perfect height.
3.Multi-functional walker with convenient accessories
Oxygen cylinder stand
The KW300 has an optional stand to hold an oxygen cylinder.
This stand holds the cylinder securely on the inside of the walker, avoiding impact to the balance of the walker itself.
IV pole
The KW300 is equipped with a standard bracket to attach an IV pole.
Insert the IV pole from above and secure safely by turning the knob.
The height of the IV pole is adjustable to fit the height of the rehabilitation patient.
Small accessory basket with hooks
A small accessory basket can be attached to the walker. This basket is perfect for carrying a small bag, wallet, smartphone, and other personal items, and provides extra convenience to patients walking around the hospital for rehabilitation or shopping at the store.
