(four-wheeled walkers)

A more natural walking style

Unlike a conventional walking frame which forces you to move forward slowly and in uncomfortable stages, your Uniscan walker allows you to walk naturally. Simply hold the comfortable non-slip handle grips and walk at your own speed, using the front wheels to steer around obstacles.

You will quickly discover that the Uniscan walker can help your posture and help eliminate the pain in your shoulders and lumbar region normally associated with using walking sticks or conventional walking frames.

Who needs a walking frame? What sort should they choose?
Take a look at our document Which Walker? for guidance.

Safety braking system (pressure brakes)

The Uniscan walker features a safety braking system. If while using the walker you should slip or stumble, your own weight will automatically engage the pressure brake, allowing the Uniscan to provide instant rigid support. The brake is also automatically engaged while you are seated.

How safety brake works

Your own weight operates the safety brake

Sitting comfortably

When you are ready for a rest or need to take the weight off your feet for a while, all you need do is lower Uniscan’s seat. Then, using the hand grips for support, you can safely turn around and sit down, leaning back against the padded backrest.

While seated, your weight will engage the pressure brakes and hold the Uniscan walker safely in place so that it cannot slip or roll.

'One Touch' locking lever brakes

Some models feature 'One Touch' brakes instead of pressure brakes. These operate like those on a bicycle. Squeeze the levers to engage the brakes. Additionally, they can be locked in the engaged position when you wish to use your walker as a seat.

Portable and easy to store

The Uniscan walker is very light and portable. It can quickly and easily be folded and locked into the closed position to be safely stowed in a cupboard or tucked into the boot of a car. When folded the Uniscan will stand upright without extra support.
