Description:
The folding walker is a mobility aid designed to provide support and stability for individuals who have difficulty walking or maintaining balance. It typically consists of a lightweight metal frame with two handles and four legs that provide stability when walking. The folding feature allows for easy storage and transport.
Directions and Usage:
1. Before using the folding walker, ensure that it is in good working condition and properly adjusted for your height.
2. Stand upright, holding the walker by the handles.
3. Step forward with the weaker leg, placing it inside the walker’s frame.
4. Shift your weight onto the weaker leg and step forward with the stronger leg, bringing it even with or slightly ahead of the weaker leg.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, advancing the walker and your stronger leg together.
6. Always maintain a firm grip on the walker handles while walking.
7. Use the walker on stable and even surfaces for optimal stability and safety.
