Hi, thank you so much for sharing the video, My father is 83 years old and he is suffering from PSP . Which UpWalker would a better option for him? And can I find it in Canada? Thanks in advance🙏
A posterior design would be so much more stable and safer with seat - no need to try to balance turning rollator around to sit; have a handy lever to raise/lower seat. And, make a dual rollator/transport option model.
I am on my second pair. They really help with my neuropathic pain. I do have to dampen the shoes to get a decent reaction. The joy of using them when the old feet are painful is wonderful.
I’m 58 and recently went to DC to see all the museums. I was surprised that my legs got tired after walking around all day. When I get older, I could get one of these to allow me to sit down while checking out museums. Actually, I’d need it to have small electric motors to scoot me along on flat floors. Not a big heavy scooter, something light and portable with only just enough power for flat floors.
I am no youngster, 73 yrs. old. And this thing should never hit the streets until you fully educate the person using it is informed that you do not have the right to slam that damn thing into people, or run over your feet makes me want to kick them in the ass and tell them to learn how to use the damn thing.😡
Just went to their website, saw lots of good information but could not find the cost, even when i hit the shop button. It does not matter how good the product is , if a consumer can't find out if they can afford it or not.
I’m very happy with my OasisSpace version that costs a fraction of what this does. The OS one doesn’t have everything that this does, but it’s all that I need.
We had one but it was too big . When we wanted to send it back the fee was $189.00 plus a charge for UPS to pick it up and send it back. I found another smaller brand and not near the price. Donated first one !
I’ve tried several upright walkers, and I’ve found the Upwalker superior in construction and overall build. Currently, I have the Upwalker Lite which is perfect for my living situation (small apartment). You forgot to mention the rear wheels of the regular Upwalker can also be released to pivot. In this life one gets what one pays for if one is lucky. While the Upwalker is more expensive than other upright walkers, you do get what you pay for. The Upwalkers do extend in height to actually fit the person’s height. The others are about an inch to two inches short in my experience. The seats are level to the ground. Another brand I had the seat was canted slightly, so stuff fell off. It’s a tiny issue, but in real life people put things on the seat while moving from one place to another. For example, I use the seat to carry a small (24 can) package of soda plus what ever else fits from my car to inside my apartment. I use an “S” hook on the bar behind each handle to carry plastic bags. (I purchased the “S” hooks at a well known hardware chain.) I find the Upwalker Lite to be very adaptable for daily living. I hang things off it to take with me. Headphones, for example. I’m 5’8” in height. As best I can tell, the Upwalker Lite will fit someone up to 5’9”.
Thanks for all the info🙏 Do you think that one of those will be a good option for someone who can’t maintain his balance ands live in a small appartement?🙏🙏🙏
I assume that Sandlot Medical is a business. Businesses usually like to present themselves as somewhat professional. That means spelling things correctly in their advertising. Most professionals, when presented with a correction, respond with "Thanks, I'll fix it," rather than with an imitation of Paul Paulsen ("Picky picky.")
They also did not spell the word "veteran" correctly in a caption near the beginning. Their spelling was "verteran". If it were MY business, I would have expected some editing of the piece prior to posting. Makes you wonder what other business practices are done incorrectly?
That price is ABSURD! These companies take such advantage of sick people. A regular walker costs about $100 new, a little more depending where you live. There's no way this is worth so much more. Absolutely disgusting.
For those of us who need such flexible mobility aids, the price is what we're willing to pay. Who are you to judge what others are willing to do? I can't use a traditional walker, nor does a Rollator do what I need it to do, and I'm willing to pay for an Upwalker so that my painfilled spine can be as vertical as possible.
Your right they just taken advantage if people who needs it. The cost of making it shouldn't cost more to make than others. A lot of people or on a fix income and can't afford it. They only want the well off people to benefit. Like everything else it's all about money not helping people's needs.
Well of course corporate companies are taking advantage of sick people! That’s what the “for profit” medical industry is all about; extracting as many resources from people as possible. Ahh the joys of capitalism 😢
I have one it has given me freedom. I’m walking straight up, my back feels so much better! My hands do not hurt anymore. I can not say enough good about my up walker
My friend is somewhat bent over from contracture of the tendon sheath. She is doing therapy to correct, but could something like this work for someone who is slightly bent over?
