Walking Frames

Walking frames provide the most stable support for people who need to bear weight through their arms and move at a steady pace. Options include pick up frames with no wheels, two wheeled frames that glide forward, folding frames for transport and bariatric frames with higher safe working loads.

Choose a pick up frame for people who need maximum stability and can lift the frame with each step; choose front wheels for people who find lifting hard or have a shuffling gait. Set the handle height to the wrist crease, check the frame width against doorways and confirm the safe working load. Rubber tips and glides need periodic replacement.

Thrive Lifecare stocks walking frames at its Launceston and Cambridge showrooms and delivers Tasmania-wide, with quotes for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase. Book a trial or contact the team for help with fitting.
