A rigid walking frame is especially suitable for persons with an unsteady walk. It is especially strong and stable. The user can stand securely and without fear of falling down. The grip handles are padded by a foam cover and is anatomically shaped. The grip handle can be adjusted easily and quickly using spring-loaded buttons. Anti-slip leg tips increase standing stability. The rigid walking frame is lightweight, can be folded up and is easy to store. With reciprocal frames the side pieces can be shifted with respect to each other. The walking appearance therefore appears as that of a healthy person. With the reciprocal frame, the natural walking motion is more intensely trained than with a rigid walking frame. The patient however is required to focus more on coordinating his movements. Both types of walking frames are used for short distances inside the home.

Most walking frames are made of light metal and equipped with 2 side pieces that are connected by a front member. Each side piece is equipped with two legs that are capped with light rubber tips. Both side frames are connected to the front member using connector fixtures. This results in a rigid frame that can be placed forwards with each step when walking. The user moves mainly inside the four legs of the frame, thus providing a high degree of standing stability. Two height-adjustable handles are mounted on the side frames and are used for lifting and moving the walking frame forwards. These products have a 4-point contact with the floor. With the reciprocal walking frame, the side pieces are moveable with respect to each other via joints, meaning two legs are always in contact with the floor while walking, as the opposite side of the walking frame is moved forwards and placed down with each step. These walking frames are primarily made of light metal and have four legs that are capped with rubber tips. The side pieces are equipped with the grip handles. The frames may be folded up and adjusted to suit individual patient sizes. The two-wheeled walking frames are made of steel or aluminium tubing. The two side pieces are connected to each other by two front members. The walking frames have two front wheels and two rubber tipped legs in the back. The user remains inside the four support points of the legs while walking. The two rear rubber-tipped legs drag over the floor surface and assure a stable standing of the frame for patients with unsteady walking. Hand grips are mounted on both side pieces of the walking frame, and are height adjustable.

Indication
For illnesses or effects from injuries involving disorders of the musculoskeletal system and at the same time coordination disorders or disturbance of equilibrium, as well as for preserving the remaining walking functions when this cannot be accomplished by other walking aid devices.
