I believe the mini "cup holder" is a cane holder. You would put the base of the cane in the holder towards the bottom of the walker and it attaches up higher.

@bron9674 Год назад

It is, good catch Jillian.

@dion1582 Год назад

I'd like to see where it attached because there's nothing in the instructions about it, and it's only mentioned in the parts list! Are you saying it is attached near the wheels somewhere??

@michiganlighthouse Год назад

Correct. I have one and a cane stays there all the time in case I need it.

Warning ... don't lean & slouch... stand in Upright...you are leaning. The walker is too short? In the car- 1.collapse the legs (you'll get used to this) 2. Don't fold the legs up as that's quite difficult until you get it in the car. 3. Position car down hill if you can. 4. Use the wheels to roll it in the car passenger side (seat protector like a dog type cover?) 4. Protect your boot back with a fold down protector as well as protect the area inside. 5. Lie the walker down. (My husband stood ours up and BOOM, down they came into a window) No damage. Tough (Mine is a tractor, his is a Harley) Enjoy the ride Folks!

he said he was 6'2' and this model was up to 6ft...it also didnt look like he had the arm rests up all the way....slouching like he was will make it shoot out from under you and cause a face plant. great tips on the legs ...my model style doesnt have that option,

@fletcher8431 Год назад

I just bought this but I hadn’t watched your video yet. I’m so relieved to hear your review because I bought this type of walker specifically because I have hEDS, and taking pressure off my knees and hips is cool but not if I’m putting all the force into my wrists! I put it together fairly easily, the tiny part you mentioned is a cane holder. So far I’m really happy with this walker, it’s my first mobility aid and I’m grateful for the arm rests and always having a space to sit down. Also I understand why some people may find the arm rests uncomfortable while seated, but I personally love it because it gives me a little bubble of personal space 😅

@sharonroach8021 2 года назад

Thank you for showing us how to put it together it's very very easy I'm 65 years old and it was not hard to do at all took about 15 minutes also going to let you know that the little black piece that you thought was a can holder is actually a holder for a cane on the left hand side at the top you will find a Velcro piece and that velcros the cane top and then the little cup holds the end of the cane, there is a little knob straight down to the bottom by the front wheel where the little cup attaches to...

@wclark3196 Год назад

I got something similar for my wife. Looks like they came out of the same factory in China. This one has more features, though. An upright walker is a great thing. It's a lot easier for her to use. She's about 172cm and she can stand fully upright and walk confident while looking where she is going. It puts much less stress on her back and hands than a regular walker does. It rolls smoothly, but wheels of that size still can get hung up and stopped by some fairly small irregularities in the sidewalk. Still, it has relieved a lot of pain. I paid for it out of my own pocket and what this guy is saying about these is true.

@beverlycaputo8195 2 года назад

Thanks so much for taking the mystery out of this cool mobility aid. Your demonstration gave me enough confidence to purchase one. I LOVE IT! So much easier to get around than with crutches. I have named it my "Chair-ee-ot" That unknown extra round piece attaches at the bottom between AA and CC for a cane and there is velcro near the seat to hold a cane in place. Thank you for your wonderfully helpful videos. God bless you and your loved ones.

Fan-Tas-Tic review!!! I"ve just spent hours trying to get complete info to compare the UPWALKER NEURO to the Oasis space. Such a thorough and informative video...thank you!!! I got answers to my question about the utility of the wheels for outside use (Upwalker has small, non grip wheels...ok for inside, not outside), whether Oasis had adjustable grip angles like the Neuro (yes it does), etc. Also loved that you explained how to strengthen muscles just by being able to walk. For a few years I have not gone for walks, which I used to love, because of back pain. Thank you for letting me know that this is my solution and my key to once again living a full life at age 79. This has been one of my major limitations, even affecting my ability to maintain a decent weight. So excited about the prospect of improving my back/ab/glute, etc muscles to enable walking again.

You have that set WAY too low for your height. The idea is not to lean over with an upright walker. I have an OasisSpace walker that is set correctly and there is zero back strain. You might want to re-record your video with the cane cup holder installed and the right height. This one is misleading and not helping people.

@pennyhoward6838 Год назад

In my case the primary reason to use this over the other kinds is that I need to be able to stand upright because of breathing issues as well as spinal issue. When using the other types I can't get upright, and my lungs get squeezed so I'm constantly on the verge if not out of breath. Also, with the others, the spine is never in an upright position. This type is really a godsend for folks with my issues.

Mine arrived today and I assembled it, which was very easy. I recently has a partial removal of a medial meniscus tear on my right knee and was doing fine until out of nowhere, I suffered what my surgeon called Pauedogout over the Thanksgiving week. A lot of intense pain, so my wife decided to get me an upright walker which should be pretty handy for me. I am 74 and in very good shape, except for me knee, and weigh 150 lbs at 5’7”. The surgery was very smooth and pain free but that psuedogout was something else. Doctor said that the pain is like a gout attack but not related to gout. In the meantime I lost a bit of muscle mass and start therapy next week. Evidently pseudogout can happen to seniors overv60, mostly males. Good video.

@robertrobinson3597 Год назад

I purchased one of these OasisSpace upwalkers last week. I liked being upright walking with it. Also the tires were soft and it didn't rattle on my tile floor. I thought it would be great for my outdoor walking exercise. I didn't test it right away outdoors. Here in AZ in June the Temperature gets out of hand in the afternoons! Mornings were occupied by Doc appointments and other must do's. Finally, after a week I took a stroll with it in the neighborhood. Bad news! The weight was excessive. After my Rollator, I was surprised. Folding it up it was too much for my bride of 60 years. It did fit, very tightly into my Acura MDX. Glad the dealer talked me out of the smaller RDX! The worst problem though was a Big Surprise. It was not stable, fore & aft. Dangerous, especially getting over the entry doorstep! Sideways stability wasn't great either. Here in AZ we don't have lawns, but rather gravel spread in the yard. Not soft or large, & our backyards are very modest. I thought that I could use it to get to my backyard neighbors. It was perilous to say the least and he had to come out and rescue me. Finally, he had to drive me home in his MDX. I noted, that although he was 20 years younger, it was not exactly an easy load for him either. I will try to return it but I'm probably stuck with it. I thought your readers would like to know my real world experience. Nobody was as disappionted as I. Be careful what you wish for. I purchased it from an outfit called "Helping Hands". I should mention them as this nonprofit has been helping disabled and elderly residents with short term needs free and has been very helpful to me. I do drive with no trouble but getting around to the rear of my MDX and unloading the heavy Upwalker are out of scope for me, and it was too heavy for my bride as well. Finally, Just sitting in it made me feel trapped, as it was too narrow, and I am not a large man. This was not an issue with the Rolator.

Since my purchase, i have found many Utube videos that I wish I had seen before my purchase. EyThey are almost all sales pitches. The only thing that I would have done differently is that I have found a model with foldable rear wheels making the unit significantly smaller to fit in the car. I have also changed my strategy in that only the rollator now goes in the car and the Upwalker stays home. Neither works well in gravel.

When I tried to use it on my property, I wound up picking it up to get over most obstacles. I knew I would need pneumatic tires as well as larger ones.

@user-wd1yl4sc8m Год назад

I purchased this walker over a year ago and there are a lot of good things about it except from day one it was a struggle to use because it doesn't want to go in a straight line. Even on a flat surface it either wants to veer to the right or left and it is such a challenge to use. Your arms get so sore that you can't walk very long. I have tried to find out on line how to correct this and have had no success. Because of that I don't think it would necessarily be a good purchase. It's not much good if you have to use all your muscles just to walk a straight line.

It looks like you are having to lean over, when you put your forearms on the upright walker. And, looking at the side, it does not look like you can make it higher. My goal is to stand fully upright (I have a core muscle deteriorative disease) so that I can strengthen my core muscles, not lean forward and give in to lower back bending while walking. I already use a regular walker and lean over to walk (no endurance to stand up on regular walker). So...what is the top, safe setting height for this particular walker?

(500 lb ppl do not have an 18 inch backside...ha) same for height if you are tall much easier to get up from....not all models come in all colors and not all the legs fold be aware that there are only afew models that have handles on seat side. makes it a bit hard to get up but i plan on adding a set with tube like brackets so they can be removed if needed and another set of brakes (to prevent that roll back ) . a few cons... ...they do not turn on a dime and can tip sideways if pushed too far ... ....if you go to sit and are wide at top the arm rests will squish your shoulders....put them down to a lower setting(chair arm rest height ) before you sit , this will also help you get up........... ....the heavy duty (22"seat) may not fit thru doorways..just lift the handle on the seat enough to roll it thru and snap back in place ....seat edge may dig into backof thighs .put a light blanket there pros.. ....helps tons with sore back ....can move faster ,,,can go farther with less breaks still getting used to mine(have this brand) ..like it so far ...needs some tweaking to make it suit me and it needs a name (been calling it the beast ..lol) had a recent hospital stay and got a ton of comments on it...even from the guys from the outside company delivering a knee scooter to neighbor bed., they had never seen one before and had fun trying it out. they havent been out on public market long(maybe 9 months) ...so im sure i will get a lot of questions as we hit up festivals this summer

You are really confusing me with this video. I've just ordered one of these walkers (which hopefully will arrive today) because a normal walker hurts the back of my arms and my wrists. I have lower back, hip and knee issues. I thought that the idea of this type of walker is that you stand UPRIGHT and you do NOT slouch. I have problems standing upright and I wanted to use this to get my body used to being in an upright position. Hopefully I can walk further with this one and get more exercise. I want to be in a position not to have to use it at all at some point in the future. You are showing it with you slouching over the handles, and leaning on it, just like as you pointed out, a supermarket trolley. This surely isn't a good idea when you are walking and will not help you walk properly. I really don't understand why you are giving these instructions.

Hey Mary! Sorry to hear that you broke your ankle :-( That is never fun and always tough to deal with!

@ 5:53 And already I see around ten reasons why this is a piece of junk and your “helpful” video dangerous. The main one being you’re a “doctor” who never uses any actual medical terms in his explanations. That worries me to no end. Just like it seems to have escaped your notice that you’re STILL slouching and leaning forward to rest your forearms on those pads, essentially moving the center of gravity from one bad place (with a normal rollator) to another bad place with this thing (which is really a rollator with telescoping attachments up top). And you as a professional not seeing a problem with any of that makes me question your motives and accreditation (s). That device has crucial load-bearing components made of plastic and you just skated by that fact in passing, like it were negligible. Moreover, I’ve never met a doctor wearing jeans, sneakers, and a JC Penney shirt in their professional capacity. Like EVER. Just saying…
