Standard pediatric walking frame

Standard pediatric walking frame it enables maintenance of stability, balance and support of body weight while walking or standing

There are many great benefits to be had from using a walking frame. These benefits include:

• Improving physical safety: using a walking frame can help an individual prevent trips and falls.
• This is particularly important with elderly users – as a fall can have dire consequences with increased age and frailty.
• Greater independence for the user: for both the elderly and the physically impaired,
• having the use of a walking frame can dramatically improve their levels of independence.
• Being able to walk without the help of another person means they are far more likely to be able to do menial tasks for themselves.
• Increases the likelihood that the user may engage in some forms of exercise, affording an individual the opportunity to walk by themselves.
• This can be anything from as little as walking around the home, to getting out and about and taking their walking frame with them outside.
• Promotes standing more: without the use of a walking frame, those with mobility issues may be far less likely to stand on a regular basis,
• opting instead to remain seated throughout the day.
• Many health professionals will tell you that sitting for long periods of time is not entirely good for a person’s posture and internal organs.
• Having a walking frame which allows the user to stand freely, is a great way to combat these health concerns.
• Reduces stress on the body: by distributing weight bearing and allowing the upper body to take some of the strain of walking, the user of the walking frame can minimise stress on their body.

Why does a child needs a walking frame

If a child is unsteady on their feet and are at risk of falling, then they may need to use a walking frame to aid with stability and safety.

A walking frame may also be necessary if the child has limited lower body strength.

The walking frame can act as a prop when walking, lessening the burden on lower limbs and hips.

When not using a walking frame, those who are unsteady on their feet will be at greater risk of falling.

This is particularly true if the child is unable to lift their feet very far off the ground – leading to the potential for trip hazards,

not only when ‘out and about’, but also within their own home

Any trips or falls can ultimately be life threatening.

Broken bones often take longer to heal, which can also result in lengthy hospital stays and in rehabilitation clinics.
