Why Kaye Walker with Forearm Support is Used?

The Kaye Posture Control Walker is designed as a reverse or posterior walker, where the user faces away from the rear bars and towards the open end of the walker. These walkers are designed to facilitate postural alignment, balance, and components of gait through the following means, as compared to traditional, forward walkers:

• The support behind the user encourages a more upright posture
• The hand-grips beside the user encourage improved upper extremity position
• The centering of the user within the walker and over his own feet encourages the development of balance
• The rear horizontal bars encourage the user to step forward as he moves the walker forward
• Pulling the walker helps eliminate the abnormal two-footed stance when a user must stop and move the walker further to their front

Optional Accessories:

• Swivel Limiter:
  • Without the swivel limiter, the swivel wheels can swivel 360 degrees
  • Adding this accessory limits the amount of swivel for users who cannot manage free swiveling
• Adjustable Resistance One-Way Ratchet Rear Wheels:
  • It is particularly useful for children who have limited control of the speed of their walkers and have difficulty slowing their speed so that they can practice their best pattern for walking
  • The spring-loaded resistance of each wheel is adjusted separately so they can offset the effects of asymmetry or weakness when walking
