The Rehasense Navigator is a four wheel forearm walker for clients who need to bear weight through their forearms rather than their hands. Each forearm support adjusts in height, length and angle, with a support height range of 900 to 1150 mm. The frame is rated to 150 kg and weighs 9.6 kg, with 200 mm TPE covered wheels that cope with footpaths as well as floors.
There is 300 mm between the handles and the overall width is 630 mm, so it moves through standard internal doorways. A seat at 620 mm gives a rest point, and the shopping bag carries up to 5 kg.
