Walking frames

Walking frames (also called Zimmer frames) come in different versions: as a simple frame, with wheels, with attached basket and tray, and/or with a seat.

A good walking frame should be light, sturdy, adjustable according to your height and be able to fold for transportation and storage. Standard walking frames - commonly known as zimmer frames - are mainly used to improve mobility within the house and for short distances. Four-wheeled frames give you a good support for outdoors and longer distances.

Your physiotherapist will advise you on which form is suitable for you and how to use it correctly.
