Forearm Gutter Walkers

High-Stability Forearm Gutter Walkers for Seniors

Our collection of gutter walkers is engineered specifically for the Australian elderly and carer market. By shifting weight from the wrists to the forearms, these frames reduce strain and improve posture, making them an essential tool for post-operative recovery or long-term mobility management.

Key Features of Our Gutter Frames

• Adjustable Height Settings: Easily customisable to suit various user heights for ergonomic alignment.
• Padded Armrests: High-density foam gutters provide comfort during extended use.
• Locking Brake Systems: Enhanced safety mechanisms to prevent rolling on uneven surfaces.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Durable yet lightweight frames designed for daily Australian conditions.
• Compact Folding: Simplified storage and transport for car boots and narrow cupboards.

Choosing the Right Mobility Support

Selecting the correct forearm walker involves balancing weight capacity with manoeuvrability. Our range includes both indoor bariatric models and versatile outdoor options with larger wheels to handle various terrains safely.

Improving Posture and Gait

Using a gutter walker encourages an upright gait, which can significantly reduce back pain compared to traditional walking frames. The vertical handles are designed to be gripped comfortably, providing a sense of security and control for users with arthritis or Parkinson’s.

Safety and Maintenance Tips

To ensure your walker remains a reliable companion, regularly check the rubber ferrules and brake cables for wear. Keeping the padded gutters clean with a damp cloth will maintain hygiene and prevent material degradation over time.
