LifeWalker introduces new upright walker design
For nearly 40 years, the design of walkers for seniors and people with limited mobility has remained the same. LifeWalker has changed that with their new UPWalker, which enables users to walk safely in
an upright position instead of the usual slouched position. The walker features four large 8 in. rubber wheels, adjustable height armrests, lockable brakes, and sit-to-stand padded handles. Because of the multi-terrain wheels, UPWalker can be used indoors and out. Optional accessories include a cane holder, flashlight, smart phone holder, luxury carry bag and shopping bag.
